County Assessor Urges Timely Tax Valuation Audit
County Assessor George Tanner plans to begin deputy-assisted assessments this week as livestock values push county valuations up. Cattle, sheep, horses, hogs and goats see substantial increases, while real estate and personal property change little. Assessors meet in Cheyenne to finalize livestock counting methods across districts including Kemmerer, Green River valley, Cokeville, Star Valley and Jackson Hole districts led by Tanner and Rosenberg.
