Assessors from the County of Grande Prairie will begin property re-inspections in a section of the county on March 1st.
This comes as part of their standard five-year cycle, and properties will be re-inspected until July 1st, to determine their estimated market value, which is, in turn, used to calculate property taxes.
During this cycle, County Assessors will be focused on Township and Range Roads 72-6, 73-6, 74-6, and 75-6. Residents with properties in the affected areas should have already received a letter and Request for Information, which were mailed out in January, asking them to self-report any changes to their property.
The county says self-reporting is easy, and residents have several options to choose from, including completing the online form, completing and mailing the questionnaire to the Assessment department, or emailing or calling in their responses to the Assessment department.
Residents are reminded that assessors only conduct re-inspections during business hours, and if they need to speak with a property owner, they will knock on the front door, or leave a call-back card if needed.
