📬 Clarifying Property Value Notices

We’ve received a few questions and want to provide some helpful information:

🏡 The recent property value notices were sent by the Crittenden County Assessor’s Office, not the City of Marion.
💰 The Crittenden County Assessor's office determines the fair market value of all property in Crittenden County and maintains all of the county's parcel records.
🏛️ Additionally, the Sultana Disaster Museum is a separate nonprofit organization. It is not operated or funded by the City of Marion.

We’re always happy to help clarify and keep our residents informed. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out!
