Town of Baileys Harbor:  The town will conduct a revaluation of property this year. Some residents have already received, and the rest will be receiving over the next few months, postcards in the mail from Action Appraisers and Consultants, Inc. In order to set a 10- to 15-minute appointment, call Action Appraisers at 888.796. 0603. Appraisers will be visiting properties where no appointment is scheduled. Absentee owners should inform their tenants of the impending visit and inspection.
When all assessments are complete, a “Notice of Assessments” will be sent to all property owners, informing them of their new assessments. An “Open Book” conference will be held to give all property owners a chance to get questions answered and iron out any differences of opinion that may exist.
 The new assessment will affect the tax bill received in December 2015. 
If you own land that is enrolled in an agricultural program (i.e., CRP,WBP, etc.) that may qualify for Ag Use Value, forward a copy of the contract to Town Clerk/Administrator Doug Smith ([email protected]) or give to the appraiser at the time of you home inspection.
