John,
Part of the answer to question two of your post might be answered by the Idaho
Code Sections:
http://www3.state.id.us/cgi-bin/newidst?sctid=630030014.K and
http://www3.state.id.us/cgi-bin/newidst?sctid=630030016.K
Further references to relevant Idaho Code Sections can be found at:
http://www3.state.id.us/idstat/TOC/63003KTOC.html
If I recall correctly from living in Boundary County, where I was for a period
of three years a county employee, the State Tax Commission, by statue,
periodically reviews each county's assessments and valuations to determine if
they meet statutory requirements, e.g., are the property valuations consistent
with current market values of the properties, etc.
>From your previous posts I infer that you know that all elected/appointed
officials do not always follow the law (either intentionally or unintentionally)
and that sometimes laws are ambiguous enough so that there is room for
disagreement between reasonable persons in the interpretation and application of
laws.
Like yourself, I would like to know more about what is motivating the current
review of Latah County valuations and the outcome of the review. Perhaps,
someone with more knowledge than you or I can enlighten all Vision 2020 readers
about this matter.
