Currently we are working on finshing up our quarterly review of properties in the county. If you see a pink sticky note on your door please call. It is our way of verifying information and making sure we have accurate data on properties in the county. As we wind up the year we will be working on making adjustments to value based on what the market is doing. Our sales study runs from 9/2011 to 10/2012. The qualified sales in this period determine what kind of market adjustment we do on properties for the 2013 Assessment. In March of 2013 we will be sending out our valuation notices (they will be with the tax statements) and if you have any questions please call us. We are always willing to go over how we determined your market value and welcome questions.

I lost my job recently, can’t find another one, and my unemployment is about to run out.”*
