TAX ASSESSOR’S OFFICE / Information / Business: Alice received a note in her personal mailbox complaining about wood piles on McCullough and that this could cause fires and damage property. She also received a call from a resident wanting a tax credit for building improvements. She continues to look for issues and unknown buildings on properties that are not on the assessor’s log. Alice stated if residents are living year-round in a travel trailer, they should be taxed since it is considered a living quarter. Denny asked about a letter he received about getting credit if you hook onto solar farm line. Alice and Maurice did state this is legit but neither of them did this since they have their own solar.
