Amador County – The Amador County Assessor’s office announced in late June that its assessment and other notices will primarily be available online, to save money on printing costs.

Amador County Assessor James B. Rooney delivered a notice June 28 to the attention of Amador County Taxpayers, saying that “starting in August of 2011, all Annual Assessment Notices and Proposition 8 Notices will be available primarily on our website.”

Rooney said people whom this change affects are those whose “property during 2010 has undergone a change in ownership, or new construction, or had its assessed value adjusted to reflect its market value as of Jan. 1, 2011.” Such changes will have the new value posted on the Assessor’s website, beneath its “Assessment Inquiry” link.

“As a cost savings measure,” Rooney said, “the above notices will not be mailed through the U.S. Postal Service unless specifically requested. Once the 2011-2012 Assessment Roll is completed in August, more information on how to access the online notices will be provided” on the Assessor’s website.
