The Floyd County Board of Assessors mailed the 2013 property assessment notices Friday, June 14th. All property owners of record will receive one. The assessment notices reflect the current property values.

 

The notices will also include an estimate of the property tax based on the 2012 millage rates. Please do not pay this notice, it is not a bill. There will be statements to that effect on the notice.

 

All property owners who feel their new values are incorrect should file a written appeal. A property owner has 45 days from the date of the notice to do so. There are three methods to file an appeal referenced on the notice. One of the methods must be selected. The deadline to file an appeal for 2013 will be Monday, July 29, 2013.

 

Appeals should be written to the
