Assessor briefs commissioners; board approves 2025 mill levy sheet
Summary
Assessor Dave Devis reported on the county's 2025 mill levy calculations and application windows for homeowner exemptions; commissioners approved the mill levy sheet as presented and were briefed on the new exemption application process and timelines.
Assessor Dave Devis told the board the county's certified valuation "came in at 2,318,000,000," and he reported a final valuation figure the assessor said would be used to collect taxes as "2.313" (as stated on the record). Following the assessor's presentation, the commission voted unanimously to adopt the 2025 mill levy sheet as presented.
Devis outlined changes to homeowner exemptions under recent legislation: the 25% homeowner's exemption will require an application and is limited to owner‑occupied primary residences, and long‑term homeowner renewals also require a prescribed renewal form. He said the Department of Revenue has set up an online portal and that application windows are Oct. 1–Feb. 1 for the homeowner exemption and Oct. 1–May 26 for long‑term homeowner status.
Commissioners asked for public outreach and noted the assessor and treasurer will include instructions with tax bills and work with senior centers to assist residents with applications.
