From the Assessing Department
The State Tax Commission adopted the following guideline regarding annual inspection of property within a local unit: Local units are encouraged to annually inspect a minimum of 20% of the parcels in each property class each year.
In order to maintain accurate assessing records, Erie Township will be conducting 20% field inspections per year in order to comply with the State Tax Commission guidelines.
During the field inspections, the Assessing Department staff will check the accuracy of township records regarding land, all buildings and update photos. We will not come inside your home but may ask property owners to verbally verify that the data we have on record is correct. If no one is home, we will conduct our outside inspection and leave a card requesting verification of the interior information for property owners to update and return to the Assessing Department. Assessing Department vehicles are properly marked with Erie Township identification and we also carry proper photo identification. Please be advised that because of weather, time constraints, or other circumstances, we will not take appointments.
If you have any questions you can contact the Assessing Department on Thursdays.
