____| Instructions to Park
County Property Owners
Your Assessment Schedule is the official record of your
property as on file in our office. It is your responsibility under
penalty of the law, to report to the Assessor's office any changes or
corrections that are needed to properly reflect your ownership on any
type of property, real or personal. Failure to do so can result in
fines and complications as periodic audits will be made.
If we do not hear from you within 2 weeks of receipt,
we will assume that our records are correct and will assess you accordingly
for the year.
Upon your request, a Deputy Assessor will be glad to
call on you and assess you personally or you may visit the office or
report by phone. By means of this handling, it is our attempt to
keep the costs of the County government and handling taxes to a minimum.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR COOPERATION.

APPEALS
In case of dispute over values of property, your first
obligation is to discuss the problem with the Assessor's office.
Wyoming Statues 39-13-109(b) reads: The county assessor shall
notify any person whose property assessment has been increased by the
County Board of Equalization of the increase. Any person wishing
to contest an assessment of his property shall file not later than
thirty days (30) after the date or postmark date of the assessment
schedule, whichever is later, a statement with the county assessor
specifying the reasons why the assessment is incorrect. The county
assessor shall provide a copy to the county clerk as clerk of the county
board of equalization. The county assessor and the person
contesting the assessment, or his agent, shall disclose witnesses and
exchange information, evidence and documents relevant to the appeal,
including sales information from relevant statements of consideration if
requested no later than fifteen (15) days prior to the scheduled County
Board of Equalization hearing. The assessor shall specifically identify
the sales information used to determine market value of the
property under appeal. A County Board of Equalization may receive evidence relative to any
assessment and may require the person assessed
or his agent or attorney to appear before it, be examined and produce
any documents relating to the assessment. No adjustment in an
assessment shall be granted to or on behalf of any person who willfully
neglects or refuses to attend a meeting of a County Board of
Equalization and be examined or answer any material question upon the
board's request. Minutes of the examination shall be taken and
filed with the county clerk.
