Message from Fremont Assessor Joe Herchenbach

If you are a property owner in Fremont Township, the county has advised us they will be mailing the blue assessment notice around July 8. Please review the notice when you receive it and if you feel it has incorrect information on it, please contact my office before hiring an attorney. Many appeals can be avoided by talking to my office first. You only have 30 days to appeal after the assessments are published, so please don't delay contacting my office at 847 223-2846. This does not apply to homeowners in Saddlebrook.
