by Alex Brooks
Petersburgh Sole Assessor Craig Surprise urged the Board to get started on a revaluation of real property in the Town. He said the real estate market has settled down and prices are stabilizing, so he believes it’s a good time to do it. Surprise feels it has been too long since the Town last did a revaluation. He said it takes two years to do it, so the Town needs to plan now to get a 2015 reval done. The work would be done in 2013 and 2014, and the new valuations would be in place in 2015. The Board agreed to go forward with it.
