CHANGE
OF VALUE NOTICES:
The Island
County Assessor mails all taxpayers a Change of Value Notice at
least once each year. New Construction Notices are
specifically designed to identify that portion of your value that
was considered new construction.
NEW
CONSTRUCTION NOTICES:
The Island
County Assessor's Office mailed 3,348 New Contruction Notices
September 12, 2008.
- The purpose of these notices is to inform taxpayers that the
Assessor has added "new construction" to their 2008
property values that will be taxed in 2009.
- New construction usually includes any structures
or parts of structures that were added, replaced, or repaired
that require or should require a building permit.
- Besides new houses or other buildings, new construction commonly
includes items like new roofs, new siding, new windows, new
or remodeled kitchens, new or remodeled baths, new wiring, new
heating, the addition or replacement of fireplaces, etc.
- The value shown in the line labeled "New Construction/Value"
is the portion of the "Improvements-Market Value (Structures
and Features)" that was added since the last time your
property was inspected.
- The new construction value is included in the "Total
Taxable (Assessed Value)" shown on your notice; it
is not in addition to it.
- Most taxpayers receive only one Change of Value Notice each
year and do not receive a New Construction Notice.
APPEALING
NEW CONSTRUCTION NOTICES:
Since the
Assessor already mailed Change of Value Notices to all
taxpayers in 2008, only the portion of the value that is listed
as "New Construction/Value" on the form you just received
is typically subject to appeal.
There are
no previous values shown on the New Construction Notice, because
the first Change of Value Notice already provided that information,
and the appeal date for the first notice (in most instances) has
already expired.
