A status report will be provided by Jean Murdock, Assessor including a timeline review and other information that will assist you in reviewing your assessment and that of other property owners.

At this meeting Mr. Koszarek will provide a more specific, detailed explanation of the valuation process for commercial properties; he will be reviewing specific examples of different types of commercial properties. This will include the use of the income approach to valuation.
I strongly urge all property owners to attend one of these meetings to hear first-hand the facts regarding the Assessment Equity Project.
