Residents raise concerns over property assessments at Whitfield County meeting; board advises appeals
Summary
Multiple residents told the Whitfield County Board of Commissioners in public comment they were concerned about recent property assessment notices; Chairman Jevin Jensen directed those residents to file formal appeals with the Tax Assessors Office.
Several Whitfield County residents used the public comment periods of the April 14 meeting to voice concern about recent property assessment notices.
Minutes record that “several citizens voiced their concerns about their recent property assessment notices,” and later that “more Citizens addressed the Board regarding their property assessments.” The minutes do not provide individual names, assessed values, parcel counts or specific examples of the assessments in dispute.
Chairman Jevin Jensen reminded residents that the formal remedy available is an appeal filed at the Tax Assessors Office. The board reiterated that directive when the matter resurfaced later in the meeting.
No formal action, study directive or amendment to assessment procedures was recorded in the meeting minutes; residents were advised to use the established appeal process at the Tax Assessors Office to seek review of their notices.
