Re: Reciprocal Waiver Fee
Dear Mayor Rants:
We are in the process of updating our records regarding reciprocal
agreements.
We do not currently have a reciprocal agreement with your city.
Scott Noble
Assessor
Since most of the information our appraisers need is readily available, and
also beneficial to the city to provide it, most cities readily accommodate our
appraisers requests. However, we have found that having a reciprocal waiver
in place saves both time and audit questions. We have similarly provided
information to jurisdictions at no charge.
The type of information our residential and commercial appraisal staff needs
is copies of building permits, plats, annexations, comprehensive plan
updates; also planning items such as zoning changes and sensitive area
designations.
Since most of our discussions regarding these items actually occur with
Finance and Planning Directors, I am providing courtesy copies to them.
Our legal advice indicates a formal resolution is not necessary. Therefore,
you may simply counter sign this letter in the space provided and return a
copy for our files.
If you have any questions, please contact my Chief Deputy Bob Roegner at
296 -5113 and he will be happy to assist you.
In advance thank you for your cooperation and best wishes for a successful
1999.
