Revaluation in Farmington was completed in 2009 resulting in new assessments for all properties. This year was also the year for the Department of Revenue Administration to do a review of the assessing records in this office. This is done a minimum of every five years. During this review, records were sampled to check for accuracy in credits and exemptions as well as current use records. Our representative from the Department of Revenue also did a random sample for checking the accuracy of our property record cards. Some of you may have received notification from the DRA that they were in the area and wished to check the accuracy of your property assessment. It benefits all of us, to keep our records accurate and up-to-date. I encourage all property owners to be
proactive in verification of the information in our records.
Please feel free to call or come by if you have questions regarding exemptions or credits, or if I can help with any other questions you may have regarding your assessment.
Respectfully submitted,
Bonnie L. Lauze
Assessing Clerk
