REVALUATION INSPECTIONS
WASHINGTON- The process of gathering information for the upcoming revaluation - due October 1, 2008 - is continuing into the second section. Jonathan Wells, a representative of Total Valuation Service will be the person coming to your door. He will carry identification from the Town of Washington. Since this is the first time since 1989 that interior inspections will be required, the cooperation of residents is encouraged. If his visit comes at an inconvenient time, there will be an opportunity to make an appointment.
The purpose of revaluations is to price properties at their true and actual value. This is usually referred to as fair market value and the assessment will be seventy percent (70%) of that figure.
There has been a change in the market since the last revaluation in 2003 and there well may be another change before 2008. Sales for the past year or two will be analyzed to arrive at equitable values.
Inspections for the following areas of Town will begin in mid-May: Barnes Road, Curtis Road, Ferry Bridge Road, Frisbie Road, Kirby Road, Kirby Brook Road, Moody Bridge Road, Nichols Hill Road, Painter Ridge Road, Rossiter Road, Roxbury Road (Rt. 199), School Street, South Street, Two Rod Highway.
