News Brief: Assessing Department to Verify Properties

Personnel from the St. Clair Shores Assessing Department will be out Friday measuring properties in the area of Harper and Little Mack, south of 11 Mile.

Chief Assessor Teri Socia and Vicky Shipman will be measuring properties from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. as weather allows.

The state mandates that communities verify 20 percent of their residential property records each year.

Socia initially planned on starting the third week of April and finishing by July. The warm weather allowed her to start earlier, city officials said.

Personnel from the assessing department will measure properties in three areas this year:

• West of Harper between 12 Mile and Masonic (the area known as Tangletown).

• South of 11 Mile between Harper and Little Mack to the point where the roads converge.

• South of 9 Mile between Greater Mack and Jefferson to the city limit.

Residents with questions, or concerns, can call the assessing department at 586-447-3357. Calls will be returned the following day, according to city officials.
