On May 21st, the Board of Assessors approved two temporary policy changes due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The following questionnaires, phone interviews and submission of photos will be used in lieu of Interior inspections until further notice.
1. Building Permit - Property Record Update. This letter will be mailed to any property owner that has pulled a building permit prior to April I, 2020 which remains open. An Assessor will conduct a phone interview with each property owner and photos of the finished work can be emailed or returned with the form. (Per the revaluation contract, Vision will be handling permits after April I, 2020).
