Plans
Ty has numerous ideas and plans he hopes to implement, should the people of Elkhart County elect him - a few of them are listed below.
Staff Excellence
Ty has developed numerous training modules he will begin implementing with staff immediately.
-
The Art of Being a Public Servant - Be The Resource
-
Residential Appraisals - Learning What To Look For
-
Atypical Property Influences - Ways To Capture Value Impact ​​
Expanded Form 11s
If elected, Notice of Assessments (Form 11s) will provide more than a canned statement; it will provide an overview of assessment items, what the assessment is supposed to be reflective of and where to go if you have questions and/or desire to appeal.​
​
Ty will be discussing this on a future episode of All Things Assessed - when this occurs a link to that episode will be inserted here.
Public Engagement
Informative and educational nights has been something Ty has wanted to do for years - if elected these three would immediately be planned and scheduled in 2027:
-
Understanding Your Property Record Card
-
The Basics of Assessment Appeals
-
Property Taxes and Property Assessments -Understanding They Are Not The Same Thing
Never Settling
The Elkhart County Assessor's office is doing many things incredibly well...however the new standard will be never settling and always asking the question,
"Is there a better way?"
​
Is there something the public has been asking for, but was never allowed or looked into?
