HB 1576: County assessors offices

Creating greater efficiency in the offices of county assessors by allowing notification via electronic means.

Summary

  • Authorizes county assessors to send via electronic means any assessment, notice, or other information that would otherwise be sent via regular mail, as long as the person entitled to the information agrees to receive information electronically, and the assessor takes measures to protect confidential information from unauthorized disclosure.
  • Exempts from disclosure under the Public Records Act information obtained by the assessor for purposes of this section, such as taxpayer electronic mail addresses, waivers, and passwords.
