There will NOT be a February Meeting.
The next meeting is Monday March 6th at 6:00 pm in the South Union Elementary School Library (room 201).
The Polk County Assessor's Office will be presenting information to neighbors at this meeting. This information is about the upcoming revaluation year. 2021 and 2022 saw record home sales, both in volume and value, which will have an effect on everyone's 2023 property assessments. Everyone will receive new assessment notices at the end of March/first of April. Please join us, and bring your questions, for this important meeting.
