Board of Assessors October 21, 2026

The Board of Assessors meeting on October 21, 2026, approved the previous meeting minutes and motor vehicle abatements. The board discussed an internal change to the abatement refund process: forms will be handled monthly rather than every two weeks, which is expected to delay refunds by one to two months. Members said the form and workflow changes are internal and are intended to address accounting and treasurer needs; no procurement decision or spending vote was identified.

The assessor’s office reported working with a vendor to obtain system access and support assessment work, including market smoothing and fiscal year 2027 values. The board also discussed updating assessment letters and the office handbook, upcoming property classification and tax-rate discussions, and scheduling deadlines. It entered executive session to discuss real property valuation, ATB cases, and exemption applications. No contract award, RFP, or vendor selection was reported.
