A team from the state Division of Property Assessments that spent most of the summer reviewing Bledsoe County’s tax maps found more than $75,000 worth of unassessed properties that will boost county coffers as a reappraisal year approaches.

More than 1,200 parcels were identified for review by state officials, and 738 of the parcels reviewed had changes.

The recurring annual gain for the county will be $75,247, according to a summary report on the review.

And the state’s involvement will continue, officials said.
