Special Assessment – When does the city consider payment for Payoff amounts?

Payment is considered when the city receives the check/payment.  When calling for payoff amount, be sure to consider additional days for payment transfer.

Assessment – What if I’d like my property assessment value reviewed?

The City’s contracted Assessor places the assessment value on the property.

The meeting is usually scheduled during the month of May (call the City Assessor or the Treasurer, 766-6300, for additional information).
