DDearear LLucasucas CCountyounty RResidents,esidents, As we move through 2009, there is much anxiety and trepidation regarding our challenging local and national economy. With so many levies passing last year, we saw taxpayers scrutinizing their property tax bills as taxes rose throughout the County. Th is scrutiny brought volumes of calls to our offi ce, and we met this demand for information by educating you on the levies, both via phone and through the use of online tools such as the Levy Estimator and Tax Distributor. One major factor determining your property tax is the value that the County Auditor assigns to your home. As we found when I took offi ce in March of 2007, properties in the County were overvalued. Over the last two years, our Department of Education and Outreach has assisted thousands of taxpayers through the process of having the taxable value on their homes revalued. Th is year, my offi ce will conduct a more global approach through a “Triennial Update”, which is a detailed sales analysis of neighborhood property values county- wide. We are continually involved in this process, and you are a part of it. We’re sending out notices on the progress of this update, and you should feel welcome to comment on the value assigned to your home. When all is said and done, I hope you feel that I’ve kept my promise: that you have a fair property value. Please feel free to call myself or my offi ce if you have any concerns regarding your property value. With these tasks set, I present you with the Popular Annual Financial Report (PAFR) for Lucas Coun- ty for the fi scal year ending December 31, 2008. Th is report not only provides an overview of Lucas County’s fi nances, but also provides insight into the strategic direction of your Lucas County govern- ment. Information in this report was derived from the 2008 Lucas County Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR), a 234-page book detailing Lucas County’s fi nances. Our CAFR received an unquali- fi ed opinion from our independent auditors Ernst & Young, LLP. An unqualifi ed opinion is the most favorable opinion that can be rendered and means that Ernst & Young, LLP examined the County’s books and records and determined that the fi nancial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the fi nancial position, operating results, and cash fl ows of the County in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). Th is PAFR is not presented in conformity with GAAP, but was created to provide you with a summary of the fi nancial activity of Lucas County’s primary govern- ment in an easily understandable format. Please feel free to address any questions or concerns to our Department of Education and Outreach at (419) 213-4406. We will get an answer for you, or refer you to the most appropriate channel to resolve your issue or question. I hope you enjoy the PAFR.
