BEND, OR -- Deschutes River Woods residents can expect a visit by county staffers, sometime over the next couple of months. Starting this week, the County Assessor’s office will conduct a regular reappraisal of homes in the area.

Appraisers drive county-issued vehicles and will verify property features like the number of rooms, square footage and overall condition of houses. They should have proper identification and business cards.

State law requires the Assessor’s Office to ensure property records are accurate.
