-Jared Litwiller shares an office with other assessors, but he works on his own. He does not have an employee. 

 

-Jared Litwiller is also the field appraiser, so he is often out of the office. He will return phone calls and emails within a week.

They should elect a chairperson, discuss how they are going to conduct business, review any statutory or policy changes they should be aware of for the current year and receive any briefings they want from the assessor regarding the assessment roll.
