Did you know?
The way your deed is worded matters more than you might think.

When you buy property, how you hold title determines what happens if one of the owners passes away:

Joint Tenants → If one owner passes, the surviving owner(s) automatically inherit their share. Usually, all that’s needed is filing a death certificate.

Tenants in Common → Each owner has a separate share that does not automatically transfer. It passes according to their will or estate, which means there will be extra steps for heirs. If there’s no will, the court must appoint a Personal Representative, and a Personal Representatives Deed will need to be recorded to transfer ownership.

If your deed doesn’t say either one → It automatically defaults to tenants in common.

It’s a small detail in the paperwork, but it can make a big difference for families down the road. If you’re not sure how your deed is worded, it’s worth taking a look.

Update: We have a winner! Shannon Hartman was the closest without going over. The number of returned notices of value was 426. Thanks for playing everyone :-)

Guess how many returned notices of value we got this year?
We’ll play Price Is Right rules: closest without going over wins bragging rights (and possibly our eternal admiration).

Here’s a hint: it's a lot. Like… "we spent days trying to track people down" level of a lot.

📬 Your mailing address matters. It's how we send official info like your property valuation. If it's wrong, you might miss your opportunity to protest.

Help us help you. (And seriously—take a guess. Closest one wins.)

As we review protests this season, our team is scheduling field visits to make sure our property records are up to date. This helps us find the most appropriate comparable sales and ensure fair valuations for everyone.

We recently reviewed a cabin that had been listed in our system as original 1954 condition. No updates on our records as no permit was pulled for the remodel. But during an inspection, we found significant improvements: new roof, siding, windows, and a full interior remodel. The original value in our records was $130,000. After correcting the information, the value was updated to $506,000.

On the flip side, we’ve also had cases where the condition of a property has declined since our last review and the value was adjusted downward after a field check.

The point is: we can’t assess what we don’t know. If updates aren’t reflected in permits, or if a structure has deteriorated, we may have inaccurate data. Field visits help us correct that.

This process isn’t punitive. It’s about getting it right.

If you have questions about what we have on file for your property, give us a call. We’re always happy to walk through it with you.
