Courthouse News: Submit assessment sheets by this Thursday

The deadline to submit your assessment sheets is very near — Thursday, March 1. Please carefully read the instructions when filling out your assessment sheet. Do not rewrite any items if they are already printed on the front; you could be double assessed. Draw a line through any items printed that you do not own as of Jan. 1. If you need to update the number of livestock, put the additional number on the back of the sheet in the appropriate area and that number will be added to the number printed on the front of the sheet.

Please do not omit VIN numbers, as they are required by law to be included on assessment sheets.

If you have any questions or need assistance with your assessment sheet, please do not hesitate to contact our office, 660-663-3300, or stop by. We will be happy to help you.
