County Auditor Alerts Residents Of Bogus Assessor Claims

Presented By McDonald’s, I’m Lovin’ It!

The Ross County Auditor is alerting home owners about individuals who might be posing as property assessors to gain access to information on your property or to get inside your home.

Ross County Auditor Tom Spetnagel Jr. told Litter Media’s Mike Smith that he has heard of at least one incident in Ross County, but other county auditors have told him they are hearing of similar incidents in their counties as well.

“Our appraisers always wear special jackets that say “Ross County Auditor,” and they are always willing to have you call our office to verify their identity. If someone is on your property claiming to be from the Auditor’s office, feel free to check with us at (740) 702-3080. We know that there have been imposters in our county, and we can only assume they are up to no good. If this happens to you, file a police report and please let us know as well.”

Spetnagel also encouraged people to report these types of incidents to local law enforcement.
