The public is encouraged to provide <br />information supporting the protest in the form of appraisals, contracts, or listing <br />information. If there are errors in the description of the property this is documented and <br />appointments are set up to review the property. Also if there are problems with condition <br />or environmental issues this is also documented and inspected. Three or four comps <br />are pulled from the sales base to compare to the subject property. The date of the <br />hearing, who was present, and the documents that were supplied are included in the <br />assessor's records. Pelland stated that she reviews all of this information and then <br />recommendations are made. <br /> <br />Arnold stated that when people came to the formal hearings some of them did not know <br />about the inspections and the board wants to make sure that all of the issues are <br />addressed. If this is done maybe they can minimize the need for the people to come to <br />the formal hearings. He suggested a checklist on the issues. He questioned what <br />happens if property protested does not agree with assessor. Pelland stated that there <br />may be negotiations between the parties <br /> <br />Mr. Standard stated that even if the protest that is filed just states that the taxes are too <br />high it is still reviewed. If the property has problems the referees will recommend a <br />lower value. <br /> <br />Jan Pelland stated that she goes through each protest verifies the information that is in <br />the cards and now they use the postcard notification from the informal hearing so that <br />once a taxpayer has an informal hearing they receive a postcard informing them of the <br />results of that hearing. If the property owner is not satisfied they can attend the formal <br />hearing with the board of equalization. <br /> <br />The board will hold the public hearing and return to this mater. <br /> <br />8 10:30 A.M.
