Re-assessment of property begins today

Avis Gunter. Kosciusko county assessor, has released a progress report for the 1976 re-assessment of real estate in Kosciusko county. The purpose of the reassessment of real estate is to establish uniform assessments for all classes of real estate property. The assessed value is then multiplied by a tax rate to support the services of the local community. In accordance with article seven, chapter 26, acts of 1961, section four, the county assessor has appointed a five-member land committee, to be known as the Kosciusko county land advisory committee. Two of the members must be agriculture owners. The committee will assist township assessors and trustee assessors in establishing land values for lake, residential, commercial and industrial property. Farm land has been established by the state tax board. Members of the 1976-77 advisory committee are Glen Disher. r 1 Etna Green, Daniel Stephan, r 3 Syracuse. James Culp, r 6 Warsaw; Howard Woodward, r 2 Warsaw; and Max Weller, r 1 Silver Lake. The committee held its first meeting September 1 and its second meeting is scheduled for September 29, in the commissioner’s room at the courthouse. Beginning today (September 15) thru December 1977, all

property in Kosciusko county will be viewed and listed by local fieldmen. The listing will provide the county assessor's office with an equitable set of records which will enable equal treatment for all taxpayers. The fieldmen will carry identification cards, signed by the township assessor or trustee assessor and the county assessor. The fieldman is required to enter each structure to determine by, actual sight the appointments of the structure. No one should be admitted to inspect the property without the proper identification In no one is home when the fieldman calls, he will leave an information card, which the occupant will be asked to complete and mail to the local assessor The property owner may wish to make an appointment to have the real estate listed, he may do so by calling the local assessor and making an appointment at the owner’s convenience. After the data has been collected in the townships it will be processed in the computing department at the courthouse under the supervision erf the county assessor. The manual adopted by the state board of tax commissioners will be used to establish the assessed values for all real property in Kosciusko county. When the assessment has been completed the local assessor or trustee assessor will send a notice of the assessed value to each owner of real estate. If the owner feels that the assessment is incorrect he has 30 days from the date of the notice to file for a hearing with the board of review Police traffic and crime report given for August Indiana State Police at Ligonier post have announced the following end of the month report for the month of August on their activities in Kosciusko county.
