ABOUT THIS EPISODE
If you’ve ever opened your property valuation notice and wondered how that number was decided—or what to do if something doesn’t look right—this episode is for you.
In this episode of Community Narrative, Dé sits down with Tami Antoine, Marshall County Appraiser, to demystify how property values are determined and what the appraiser’s office actually does behind the scenes. Tami explains the different appraisal methods used for homes, farmland, and businesses, clears up common misconceptions about property taxes, and shares what local market trends have looked like in recent years. They also walk through the appeal process step by step, discuss what documentation is most helpful if you have questions about your value, and talk about recent legislative changes affecting personal property. Along the way, Tami highlights the importance of transparency, communication, and public service—and why her office encourages residents to ask questions.
Whether you’re a homeowner, a farmer, or simply curious about how property values impact schools, roads, and local services, this conversation offers clarity, context, and practical guidance for Marshall County residents.
