Board approves updated assessment contracts with City of Morris and City of Donnelly
Loading...
Summary
The county auditor/assessor presented updated contracts for city assessing services and the board approved agreements with the City of Morris and the City of Donnelly with updated per‑parcel pricing consistent with market rates.
The county assessor presented contracts that extend county assessing services to the City of Morris and the City of Donnelly. Staff said the updated contracts adjust pricing to align with private‑market per‑parcel charges and better reflect the workload associated with growth and building updates.
Why it matters: The county’s assessing function offsets costs for small cities that contract for county assessing services and ensures valuation services are provided consistently. County staff said the contracts are not intended to generate surplus revenue but to offset staff time and to maintain equitable charges compared with private assessors.
The board voted to approve both city contracts by voice vote; staff will finalize agreements and circulate executed copies per county procurement procedures.
