Starke County has a new assessor. Longtime assessor’s office employee Michelle Snowdon was unanimously chosen during a Democratic Party caucus Thursday. Snowdon replaces Rhonda Milner, who officially stepped down from the position Friday afternoon.
Indiana law requires county assessors to have a certain amount of training. Assessors elected after January 1, 2012 must be certified as at least a Level 3 assessor-appraiser. The assessor is responsible for identifying, listing and calculating the assessed value of all real and personal property.
