The latest legislative session rewrites the sheep license fee system. Under the new rule a license once issued remains in place until a wool growers petition declares it unnecessary. No annual per head notice will be sent by the assessor this year. If sheep left the county between early March and early June, they won’t be assessed per head if an affidavit is filed within two weeks.
