Residents, county staff discuss upcoming countywide reappraisal and assessor visits
Summary
During public forum, a resident shared details from the assessor’s reappraisal notices; board members and the 911 director discussed that homeowners are not required to allow assessors into their homes, the Department of Revenue recommends reappraisal every 10 years, and dispatch will share website information about assessor visits.
During the public forum, attendees raised questions about Marshall County’s upcoming reappraisal project, information in homeowner letters and how assessor visits will be handled.
A speaker identified as Anne shared Blaze’s materials, saying homeowners received letters and that the assessor’s page on the county website lists names and photos of assessors and includes vehicle make/model and license‑plate information to help residents verify visits.
Board members and commenters discussed whether residents must allow assessors into their homes. The chair said homeowners do not have to allow entry; assessors may still determine a new assessment without interior access. Speakers noted the Department of Revenue recommends reappraisals every 10 years and observed that Marshall County has not previously completed that full process, which could lead to reassessments after a countywide review.
Rhonda Bridal, identified in the transcript as the 911 director, said dispatch has coordinated with assessor staff about schedules and that the website information will help dispatchers and residents verify who is at the door.
No formal action was taken; the forum was informational and no votes were recorded. Board members encouraged residents to review the assessor’s website and to be informed about the process.
