In a pivotal move during the April 21, 2025, Alamance County Commissioners Meeting, the board unanimously approved the appointment of Brad Fowler as the county's new tax collector and assessor, effective April 22, 2025. This decision comes after a motion was made to release interim tax collector Cindy Miller and interim tax assessor Amy Perkins from their duties, paving the way for Fowler to take on these critical roles.

The board expressed confidence in Fowler's ability to exceed this benchmark, highlighting the significance of effective tax management for county operations.

In addition to his immediate responsibilities, Fowler has been appointed as the tax assessor for the term running from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2029. This dual appointment is expected to streamline processes and enhance the efficiency of tax-related functions within Alamance County.

The meeting also touched on other topics, including a review of library policies, but the appointment of Fowler stood out as the key highlight, marking a significant step in the county's governance and fiscal management. The board's swift action reflects a commitment to maintaining high standards in tax collection and assessment, crucial for the county's financial health moving forward.
