Monticello Live

Drew County Assessor Cheri Adcock would like to remind all taxpayers who have personal and/or business property to assess it prior to May 31, 2022. A 10% late penalty will be added after that date.

Persons may assess by calling the office at 870-460-6240, or online at http://www.actdatascout.com. However, commercial assessments must be done either in person or online. They cannot be done over the phone.

If residents own their home and if it is their primary place of residence, they may qualify for a Homestead Tax Credit of up to $375. They should let the assessor’s office know if they will turn 65 by December 31, 2022, or if they have become disabled.

The City of Monticello is currently taking applications for a Part-Time Advertising & Promotion Administrative Assistant to work in City Hall. This individual will be the sole contact between the public, City Hall and the Advertising & Promotion Commission. (more…)
