County staff outline procedures and deadline changes for 2026 property valuation protests
Summary
Deputy County Clerk Courtney Lyons and Administrative Services Officer Leila Luft told commissioners that filing for 2026 property valuation protests runs June 1–30 (mailed forms must be postmarked by June 30), the annual deadline moved from July 25 to August 10, the revised Form 422 includes required fields, and temporary staff have been hired to support the season.
Courtney Lyons, deputy county clerk, and Leila Luft, administrative services officer, briefed the board on plans for the 2026 property valuation protest season. Lyons said preparations are in place and "temporary staff have been hired" to handle filings. Filing will run June 1–30; mailed forms must be postmarked by June 30, though staff encouraged online submissions or in-person delivery because "USPS delays caused issues last year." The state’s revised Form 422 now includes required fields intended to reduce incomplete filings, and several referee agreements will need renewal due to expired three-year terms.
Luft highlighted that the annual deadline was moved from July 25 to August 10. Lyons told commissioners that documents will be brought to a Tuesday meeting for approval and that staff can assist constituents and track each protest through the internal system. The board expressed satisfaction with current operations and no major procedural changes were anticipated.
Why it matters: the deadline and form changes affect property owners preparing protests and the county’s ability to process filings efficiently. Staff recommended online filing when possible to avoid postal delays and noted referee agreements need renewal before hearings begin.
