Starke County Assessor Michelle Snowdon had the chance to review the bid for the reassessment process for the next few years and presented her findings to the Starke County Commissioners this week.
She said the bid seems to be in line with all specifications to conduct reassessments on Starke County properties from 2019 to 2022. The total bid came in at $575,800 which is about $23,000 less than the company’s last bid.
The commissioners approved the bid on Snowdon’s recommendation. Accurate Assessment has worked with Starke County in reassessment procedures since 1999.
Accurate Assessment crews will take the next four years to assess all properties in Starke County. They will look at properties for any new buildings, buildings that may have been razed on a property, take measurements, and review the general condition of houses or structures. This helps the assessor’s office keep up to date on all properties as not all property owners go through the permitting process when updating properties with structures.
