Assessor: McDowell v. McFadden

The Kootenai County assessor doesn’t just tell you how much your home is worth. Another big part of the job is overseeing that place no one wants to be: the DMV. Vehicle registration and title services are some of the busier functions of the assessor’s office, which also sets values for residential and commercial property, maps property boundaries and processes homeowner exemptions. A staff of 60 handles all that work, and since 2002 it has been supervised by Mike McDowell, a Republican seeking his fourth term in office. In the Nov. 4 general election McDowell faces Democrat Shirley McFaddan, an Athol retiree who serves on the Idaho Workforce Development Council.
