Reappraisal of properties underway
Berning
SIDNEY Shelby County Auditor Amy L. Berning has begun the process of a state mandated reappraisal of all properties.
There will be appraisers visiting properties throughout the county through the end of 2021. These individuals will be working on behalf of the Shelby County Auditor’s Office, but are employed by the Auditor’s appraisal company, Appraisal Research Corporation. They will be identified with badges, safety vests, and car signs.
