City of Jasper Property Assessors Annual Review – Fall 2023
The Jasper City Assessors, Mary and Erik, will be visiting properties in the coming weeks. Assessors are required by state law to visit and physically inspect each property once every 5 years. If your property is scheduled to be viewed this year, here’s what you can expect:
· They will knock or ring the doorbell. If an adult is present, an inside review may be requested depending on the last time a full review was done. They will walk around the outside of all buildings (if accessible) to verify exterior characteristics. They may also take a photo or two of the house, garage, or other buildings.
· If an adult is not present when the Assessor stops by, an “Appraisal Notice” will be left with further instructions and their contact information.
· Characteristics of the property that affect market value are age, square footage, quality of construction, condition, basement finish, recent remodeling, location, etc.
· The Assessors wear an official identification badge, carry business cards, and have a “City Assessor” sign on their cars.
In addition to the 5-year review areas, the Assessors will visit new construction, permit, remodeling work in all areas of the city.
THANK YOU, in advance, for your cooperation during this year’s assessment review.
