Assessor’s Office
Daviess County property owners have now received their 2017 tax statements. According to Assessor Sally Black, citizens with property in the Gallatin R-5 school district have likely seen an increase due to the school levy which is now in effect. That levy passed in April 2017. This date was incorrectly reported in last week’s edition.
Representatives from the assessor’s office will be reviewing in Jackson and Sheridan Townships.
