(Cleveland)- By now all property owners in White County should have received your 2015 property assessments from the county tax assessors office. Chief Tax Appraiser Bryan Payne said the notices were mailed out in two stages last week. In a lot of cases the residential values went up from the previous year.
Payne said, residential market values are coming back and increases were made to stay with the market. But he said not all values went up, “ vacant land, if you had vacant land it pretty much stayed as it was, or land period matter of fact we had some place where it went down, “ said Payne.
Property owners who are in disagreement in their assessed value can file an appeal. Payne said, “ they have 45 days, I think the date is like June 22nd is the last date they’ve got to appeal.”
According to Payne state law requires that they sent everyone an assessment notice along with an estimated tax. He said since the 2015 tax millage rate has not been set they had to use the 2014 tax millage rate, so the actual tax amount on the property could chance once the new millage rate has been set by the board of education and board of commissioners, that should happen in late June.
