The Pulaski County Assessor’s Office is required to value all the real estate property, personal property, business inventories and automobiles in the county for two reasons: to maintain an accurate county tax roll and to keep the legal property descriptions up-to-date.
With valuations in place, the county’s tax burden is then fairly and equitably distributed based on the tax rate applied to a property’s assessed value. The Assessor and her staff determine market value and perform maintenance on over 350,000 taxable real estate, business and personal property accounts.
“Over the last year, approximately 81,000 documents were filed with the County Clerk. We looked at all of them and determined that 10,000 needed attention from our office.
Nearing the end of the year, with only 50 documents to take a closer look at, we were readily able to see if these were duplicates or being held for delinquencies. Our year ended easily with all documents having been completely processed ahead of our deadline. DocuWare is amazing,” said Thompson.
