County Assessor
The 2011 Boundary County property valuation
notices will be in the mail on June 6 this year,
and the market value shown becomes the basis for
the property tax bill generated in November.
Changes cannot be made after June 27, so
property owners are encouraged to review their
notices right away and call the Assessor's
Office, (208) 267-3301, if there are questions.
With the exception of agriculture and forest
land, property values are generally based on a
depreciated replacement cost and adjusted
annually, if necessary, in order to reflect
market trends, which are developed in mass, by
property type and based on all sales reported.
This is done for equity sake so that those with
the same property type realize the same market
adjustments. If our values go up or down
together, then our bills won't change much. We
are "equalized" with our neighbors.
For 2011, not much changed in the mass market,
so unless the property owner changed the use of
their land or added or deleted structures since
the last time the property was visited by
appraisers, there should be very little change
in value.
Beginning in July, county appraisers will be out
conducting inspections in the middle section of
the county, extending from Lions Den/West Side
Road to beyond Moyie Springs. If you find a
county appraiser's card on your door, it just
means that they were there and letting you know
that in case you have questions. |
