Cole-Layer-Trumble, the revaluation company for Fayette County’s property revaluation project, has corrected the computer error and will send notices to Belle Vernon with the last group of mailings. The final mailing will be sent this week to Ohiopyle Borough and properties in the Uniontown School District, including Franklin, Henry Clay, Menallen, Stewart, and Wharton townships, Markleysburg, and Uniontown. The call-in deadline for scheduling appointments will be adjusted as well. Property owners in the last group of mailings, including Belle Vernon, will have until May 3 to call for a meeting with a reviewer.

Notices list the tentative fair market value for a property. Owners are asked to decide if they could, or would, sell their property for the amount listed. If the answer is no, then they should call the phone number on the notice by the deadline given at the top of the letter.

During informal meetings, CLT reviewers check information listed in the property record and collect documents or photos from the property owner that show why the owner feels the value should be adjusted.

If property owners have not received a notice by April 22, they may check the property web site at www.fayetteproperty.org to verify their mailing address and other information. Property owners without computers may seek assistance from family members, public libraries, and community centers with Internet access.

They may also call the public information office at 724-434-6025, or visit the public access computer in the Fayette County Assessment Office at the county courthouse for information on values.
