Bill > HB3200

This bill modernizes property assessment practices by allowing assessors to maintain and store assessment records electronically, which will be considered official records, and by enabling the creation of electronic notification systems for assessment-related documents. Property owners can voluntarily opt-in to receive these notices electronically, such as via email, which will have the same legal effect as traditional mail. The bill also updates requirements for notifying property owners of increased valuations, allowing for electronic notification with owner consent, and clarifies that the use of advanced technologies like aerial and satellite imagery, geographic information systems (GIS), and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) can be used for property assessment, provided they adhere to professional standards. Additionally, it modifies the process for increasing property assessments, requiring a physical inspection if the increase exceeds fifteen percent (excluding new construction) and providing property owners with specific rights and notification procedures regarding these inspections.
