Coos County Reappraisal

The Coos County Assessor’s Office is pleased to announce the start of the 2015 reappraisal of Coos County residential properties.  Reappraisals are done to ensure the accuracy of the inventory in the assessor’s records and to check that assessment values are indicative of the market.  Since the passage of Measure 50 in 1997 eliminated a mandatory reappraisal, it has been many years since a complete accounting has been done county-wide.

Beginning the end of March, our Appraisal staff will start reappraisals in the Shinglehouse area and continue working southeast toward Coquille, a process expected to last through the end of August.  Annually, a different portion of the county will be visited, with the entire county slated for reappraisal over the next several years.  Each year in February or March, the area to be reappraised will be announced in local papers and broadcast media.

At your property, Appraisers will knock on the door to introduce themselves. If you would prefer to be present at the time of the visit, please call or email us now to make arrangements to meet, and give us a daytime contact phone number. If no one is home at the time of the visit, they will complete an exterior inspection of the property and leave a card with our contact phone numbers if you should have any questions.

It is the Assessor’s responsibility to maintain an accurate inventory of all properties located in the county.  The public’s cooperation and assistance during this process is greatly appreciated.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact our office at (541) 396-7900, or Ron at (541) 396-7912, or by email at: rschaar@co.coos.or.us or sjansen@co.coos.or.us.
