Any parcel that is delinquent will be mailed a notice of the delinquencies and the amount due in March. Senior/Disabled property claim forms and low income rent reimbursement forms should be arriving in our office later this month. We would also like to introduce the newest member of our office Ellie Miller. She will be working part time for us and we are very thankful to have her.
UNION COUNTY ASSESSOR - Gene Haner, 641-782-1735. Please check and make sure you have a current Homestead and Military Exemption on your property. If you have purchased a different home, make sure you have signed up for these exemptions. The qualification for any honorably discharged member of the United Armed Forces has been changed to be eligible for the military exemption on your property taxes. Now if you have served eighteen months or more in the armed forces irregardless of when you served, you are now eligible for a Military Exemption or if you have served for twenty years in the Reserves or the National Guard you are also eligible for the military credit. What is required to sign for this credit is either a DD-214 from the regular service or a complete listing of years served from the Guard or Reserve. You are also required to inform this office if you have removed or built any new buildings or dwellings or if you have remodeled any buildings or dwellings. Family Farm Credit is now a one-time sign up and can be signed at any time for qualifying owners.
UNION COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS - Mike King, Chairperson, Ron Riley, Vice-chair, Bob Brown, Don Irelan, Tom McCann—641-782-1720.
UNION COUNTY EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT - JO DUCKWORTH, 641-782-1622. With our recent water emergency, CodeRED© has been proven to work! As with any new system, the first run brought some challenges to light, so working with the CodeRED technical staff has identified and hopefully taken care of problems such as “overwhelming of phone lines”. Please make registering one of your “New Year Resolutions”. It is easy to do (takes about 2 minutes) and it is imperative to remember the system is only as complete as you, the residents of Union County can make it. Therefore, in an effort to capture all residences and businesses in Union County for CodeRED Emergency Alerts, there is a link on the Union County’s website at www.unioncountyiowa.org , then click on the register for CodeRED and it will take you to the community page to register or you can call the Emergency Management Office at 641-782-1622 and I will register you on line. Cellular phone users are strongly encouraged to register. You will need to provide phone number, a complete address, and you will be asked if you live in a mobile or manufactured home. It is especially important for businesses and their critical employees to register, so you are not caught unaware of any emergency situation which may affect your operations. In December I attended a 4 day training in Anniston, Alabama on the Incident Command System to comply with the State and Federal training mandates. The cost of the training, flights, board and meals were all paid for by the Center for Domestic Preparedness. It was a faced-paced training environment and I feel the benefits were tremendous to all of Union County. Union County Emergency Management is looking forward to the New Year, with many new projects and public commitments to undertake. After the numerous challenges that were faced in 2008, I believe we are a better prepared community.
