New Property Assessment Confusion Reaches High Levels
County assessor Darwin Rogers says 1966 property assessment forms cause confusion as inquiries flood the office. Forms are not due until Jan. 3 to March 1, 1966 and must be filed with vehicle registration. If only household goods are owned, visits to the courthouse are unnecessary. Forms stay with vehicle registration and must include census details. Forms processed after Jan. 3 and notices of assessments will be mailed to each taxpayer.
