Conference wrap-up!

It was great to see so many of you in person at the Assessors Association and County Directors Association conferences. For those who couldn’t make it, here’s the printable presentation from the ORPTS sessions.   

Note: For the full value measurement portion of the presentation, these two handouts may be helpful:

• Simulator PDC Report
• 2023 Full Value Measurement and Pre-Decisional Collaboration
  
  

Senior Income Level Report update

We’ve been asked which year of income is used to determine whether a property will appear on Report #9. We use data from the 2021 income tax year, which is the most recent year available, to determine whether properties owned by senior citizens have incomes below $58,400.

As for the age of the seniors on the report, at least one owner must be 65 by December 31, 2023.

Reminder: When properties sell

After a property sells, don’t forget to:

• transmit the sale and any changes to ORPTS (see Sales usability criteria),
• update your roll to reflect the sale inventory, and
• update the IVP record to indicate the property was sold.
