Alton, MO. – Oregon County Assessor Doug Bridges issued an announcement to the public just today, stating that they have been receiving calls about imposter agents claiming to be from the assessors office. The statement can be read below for further information.


Hello, I am Doug Bridges the Oregon County Assessor. I am making this announcement in regards to public safety. On two different occasions this week we have had phone calls from county residents stating that someone was on their property claiming to be assessing. In one case they told a gentleman he need to clean/remove things from his property, such as scrap metal. Another case, they entered the home and said they was doing a sb190 review, took pictures and asked for their bank statements.
