AVITAR
INSPECTIONS/VISITS
Avitar will be in the area again beginning
the week of June 15th-June 19th to do inspections
and site visits. Their vehicle should be marked with Avitar
on the side.
In light of the Governor’s announcement regarding the State of
Emergency and School closures, Avitar has felt the need to
be proactive and safe. Given the contracts they have
in place, they still need to work and keep on schedule as
much as possible. Their field staff are still out in
the field working, however, they have been advised not to
enter properties for interior inspections. They will
still visit, knock, step back and gather information from
the taxpayers at the door and continue on with any exterior
work needed. This is in line with the CDC
recommendations regarding avoidance of close contact.
If taxpayers are sick, please be advised not to open the
door at all. They will be sending letters at a later
date to complete interior inspections where needed.
The safety of their staff and all taxpayers is one of their
top concerns and they will work diligently to ensure
everyone stays as safe as possible. They recognize
that they may encounter children home alone or with their
parents and want to get the word out regarding their
protocol. If this pandemic continues, this may alter
how they handle the informal hearing process for those towns
with updates/revaluations this year, as well. They
will post updates as they occur on their website and send
further notification if and when things change.
