Tax year 2015/ payable in 2016 is the general assessment year meaning all 10 thousand plus parcels in Moultrie County are published.

This was formerly know as the Quadrennial Assessment year for Moultrie County Property Tax.

In counties with less than 3,000,000 inhabitants, every four years, the Township Assessors, Multi-Township Assessors, and the Chief County Assessment Officer (the “CCAO”, also known as the Supervisor of Assessments) must review and reassess all property in the county and revalue each of the properties if and as needed.

After that work is done, the CCAO is required to publish a complete list of the assessments by township. The CCAO also mails individual assessment notices to all the county’s property owners.

Moultrie County CCAO Cindy Kidwell  explained that the publication of the assessments is in this week’s News Progress, and the assessment notices were mailed Tuesday, March 22.

The beginning of the publication of the assessments outlines the information regarding the procedure and whom to contact should there be questions or concerns about assessments.
