Miles

The 2010 change of value notices mailed Friday to Douglas County property owners contain an error, county appraiser Steve Miles said.

This year’s and last year’s values are flip-flopped. The commercial and residential real estate notices incorrectly listed the 2009 value under 2010 and vice versa.

“At this point we haven’t determined the cause or anything,” Miles said. “We want the public to know about it, to be aware of it.”

Miles said his office discovered the error Monday morning and that property owners can bring their notice in to the office in the basement of the Douglas County Courthouse, 1100 Mass., if they would like a new copy.

Beyond that, Miles said his office is still trying to determine the best course of action.

Property owners wanting to appeal their values have until 5 p.m. March 30 to request an informal hearing with the appraiser’s office.
