Our office is currently reviewing new images taken in 2024. With this technology tool we are able to find, locate and even measure buildings more easily. We are also finding buildings and additions that may have been missed for some time. It is the field assessors job to discover and value these items.
Field Assessors
Field assessors all wear identification. They are usually in a RED or BLUE Ford Escape that are identified as "Snyder County". On rare occasions a personal vehicle may be used. They will also carry identification, tape measure, laser measuring tool, clip board, phone, and Ipad.
