that they are submitted to the board for its consideration, the assessor shall file a copy of the
proposed schedules, standard, and rules in his [or her] office where they shall remain available
for public inspection."

and rules, the board of commissioners shall publish a statement in a newspaper having general
circulation in the county stating:
a. That the proposed schedules, standards, and rules to be used in appraising real property
in the county have been submitted to the board of county commissioners and are

2
b. The time and place of a public hearing on the proposed schedules, standard, and rules
that shall be held by the board of county commissioners at least seven days before
