From the Johnson County Daily Journal:
When a Center Grove area man opened his property assessment this year and saw the land value on his creekside home increased by 11 percent, he wanted to find out why.
Patrick Vercauteren, who lives in Woodridge Estates, called the county assessor’s office and requested a review. He now is waiting for a hearing to discuss his land value. He’s never questioned his assessment before but is asking for a review for the first time.
More than 3,700 property owners are questioning the value the county deemed their property was worth this year. Those appeals tripled this year after a reassessment in 2012 increased values on about half of all properties in the county. And home, business and land owners want answers about why their values changed since last year.
