I <br /> have enclosed a copy of the letter sent to you from Tom May, as well as an example <br /> of a resolution used to transfer duties to the county for an open book meeting. If St. <br /> Anthony wishes to switch to an Open Book meeting the County Assessor needs to <br /> receive a written copy of the resolution by December 1St <br /> During the open book meeting taxpayers meet individually with an appraiser to <br /> review the value of the property, the property record, as well discuss comparable <br /> sales information. An appointment is not required. If a taxpayers concerns are not <br /> resolved after meeting with an assessor they have two formal appeal options. The <br /> County Board of Appeal and Equalization where a full appraisal is completed of the <br /> property by an appraiser in our office or Tax Court. <br /> Please feel free to contact me at 612-348-8968 if you have any further questions <br /> regarding the open book meeting. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Cd rn r c� l 'h4/ <br /> Tamara Doolittle, SAMA <br /> Principal Appraiser <br /> Hennepin County <br /> An Equal Opportunity Employer Recycled Paper <br />
