Tax notices expected soon

All Madison County property owners will receive a property tax assessment notice this year. And those notices could come late this week or early next week.



“We’re hoping for Thursday,” said Madison County chief appraiser Robin Baker.

Madison County’s board of assessors agreed to mail notices to all property owners, even though members voiced concern about setting the tax digest behind schedule if everyone receives a notice.

In recent years, only property owners whose values had changed received a notice. But assessors agreed that every property owner should have the opportunity to review their property values annually.

Property owners have 45 days to appeal their values. If more than three percent of Madison County’s 15,995 parcels are under appeal, the county cannot submit its digest to the state.
