SUMMARY:

            This resolution proposes a referendum to approve an amendment to the Constitution to provide procedures for informing taxpayers of their property assessment and to allow procedures for appeal of that assessment:

• The tax assessor would have to provide a copy of the appraisal valuation to the taxpayer who could appeal, if:
• • The taxpayer gets an independent appraisal within 45 days of receipt of the tax assessor’s appraisal;
  • The independent appraisal will stand if it is within 20% or less of the tax assessor’s appraisal.
• If the independent appraisal differs by more than 20%, then the matter goes to arbitration.
