Committee sends assessment-ordinance update (SB 179) to Feb. 3 meeting
Summary
The finance committee moved ordinance 2025-09, an update tied to SB 179 on assessor information requests, for introduction at the Feb. 3 assembly meeting and discussed a follow-up amendment to clarify the meaning of a 'reasonable question.'
The Assembly Finance Committee voted to send ordinance 2025-09 to the Feb. 3 regular assembly meeting for introduction. The ordinance updates assessment procedures related to state SB 179.
Staff told the committee they intend to draft a local amendment to clarify one provision of SB 179 that requires an assessor to “answer any reasonable question.” Committee members and staff said the term “reasonable question” is vague; staff proposed drafting an amendment that would specify the type of information the public should expect from the assessor and define the scope of reasonable requests.
Next steps: Staff will prepare the local amendment language and include it with the ordinance introduction package for the Feb. 3 meeting.
