Lloyd Hara for King County Assessor

Lloyd’s 2011 Harbor Party is only two weeks away.  By mail or email, phone or facebook, it’s time to forward your confirmations, regrets, and/or $$$ contributions in lieu of attendance. This will be your last reminder until about 24 hours before party time (5-7:30pm, Wednesday, Oct. 26).

In other exciting news, the International Association of Assessing Officers (IAAO) honored your King County Department of Assessments with the Distinguished Assessing Jurisdiction award at this fall’s 77th Annual Conference on Assessment Administration in Phoenix AZ. (Reykjavik Iceland got one, too.)

Our award was for innovative use of technology to map and locate properties to be assessed for local tax rolls — part of Lloyd’s ongoing commitment to modernization. County Executive Dow Constantine enthused:

This is another example of how, working together as One King County, smart management practices and the innovative use of new technology can improve how we do our jobs. I’m pleased that others are recognizing the reforms being made here, and I congratulate the Assessor on this honor.

Lloyd discussed this and other local property tax topics on the Real Estate Radio Network’s Tina and Drew Show. To hear this interview, visit their “Shows” page and scroll down to the audio widget under “OCTOBER 1ST SHOW”.

Join us at China Harbor later this month, and you can hear all about it straight from the horse’s mouth!
