Jasper County Courthouse Opening: A New Era for Public Service

The Jasper County Assessor's office, led by Dawn Hoffman, has been a cornerstone of public service in Rensselaer, Indiana, since its inception. The office is responsible for accurately and uniformly determining the market-value-in-use of every property in the county, serving the public with integrity, professionalism, and knowledge. Located in the County Courthouse, the assessor's office is easily accessible from Interstate 65 (exit 215 - US 114 E) in northwestern Indiana.

As the county's gateway to accurate property valuation and assessment, the Jasper County Assessor's office plays a vital role in supporting the local economy and community. The office is committed to providing exceptional service to residents, businesses, and visitors alike, ensuring that everyone has access to reliable information and guidance.

In addition to its core functions, the assessor's office also works closely with other county departments, including the Jasper County Highway Department, located to the west, and the Jasper County Airport, situated to the east of the shelter. The office is conveniently situated on the left-hand side across from the Jasper County Fairgrounds, making it easily accessible by car or on foot.

The Jasper County Animal Shelter & Control has been a vital part of the community since its founding in November 1998. The shelter accepts stray and owner-surrendered dogs and cats, providing a safe haven for these animals until they are adopted into loving forever homes. The shelter's staff, including Kyndra Hearod, Alyssa Seale, Rachel Boesen, Tori Nuest, and others, work tirelessly to ensure that every adoptable animal receives the care and attention it needs.

The shelter's adoption process is designed to ensure that animals are matched with suitable owners who can provide a forever home. Potential adopters must fill out an adoption application, provide photo identification, and obtain a prepay receipt from a veterinarian of their choice for spaying/neutering and rabies vaccination. The shelter also requires adopters to set up an appointment for the animal's adoption.

The Jasper County Animal Shelter & Control is governed by the authority of the Animal Control Board and the County Commissioners of Jasper County, Indiana. The public is welcome to attend meetings, which are held on the second Monday of every month at 6:00 PM CST in the public meeting room at 910 S.

In conclusion, the Jasper County Courthouse opening marks a new era for public service in Rensselaer, Indiana. The assessor's office and animal shelter & control have been pillars of community support, providing essential services to residents and visitors alike. As we move forward, we are committed to continuing our mission of serving the public with integrity, professionalism, and knowledge.
