Assessing the assessor; appraising the valuation process

The League of Women Voters of Jefferson County will continue its look at the Jeffco Assessor’s Office and the process of property valuation at its public meetings Feb. 23-25. Topics for discussion include whether Colorado should require assessors to have a certain level of education or training and whether they should be appointed or elected. Assessors’ duties include discovering, classifying and valuing all county taxable real and personal property. Results of the Colorado Legislative Council’s 2015 annual audit of the assessor’s office will be presented.
The League meets in the foothills at 9:15 a.m. Tuesday, Feb. 23, at Highland Rescue Team Ambulance District, 317 S. Lookout Mountain Rd., Golden, 80401. Call Janet at 303-674-7755 for information. An evening meeting also is available; call 720-254-5741.
