A WORD FROM YOUR ASSESSOR
D. W. "Peachie" Arthur and staff would personally like to welcome you to the Putnam County Assessor's Office web site.
As an elected official, I believe my most important duty is to serve you, the people of Putnam County. The most important feature of this web site is the wide range of services that can be obtained here. Currently, items ranging from information on Homestead Exemption to Farm Discounts. My objective, in the future, is for you the public to be able to review your property record cards while sitting in your office or at home. Almost every service provided by the Assessor might one day be accessible at this web site.
Another advantage of this web site is that, unlike the county offices, web sites have no office hours. Information on the home page will be available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. This will enable those people who cannot get to our office during the traditional office hours to access information they need. At a time when taxpayers are demanding more services from their government, around the clock access via a web site provides a cost-effective alternative to extended evenings and weekend office hours.
In my efforts to better serve the taxpayers of Putnam County, I will always look for new and improved ways to keep the public informed about what is happening in our office. It will be my goal to keep the public aware of new development or laws. I sincerely believe this web site will provide yet another valuable avenue for information to flow between my office and the people of Putnam County.
If I can ever be of assistance to you, please do not hesitate to contact me at the office or at home.
Your man in office,
D. W. "Peachie" Arthur
Putnam County Assessor
