County hears proposal to use regional council (CRC) for assessor services to save cost; staff to report back
Summary
County staff and supervisors discussed a regional assessor-service model through the Central/County Regional Council (CRC) that could lower costs for small counties; staff said they would seek cost details and report back.
Amelia County staff reported that the county is exploring a regional assessor-service option through the regional council (CRC), which could allow multiple counties to share assessor services and lower per‑county costs.
Staff said the CRC has proposed various service models and that if enough counties participate the per‑county cost could be reduced substantially. Staff noted more details would be available after CRC works through interest from other counties and cost estimates; board members urged staff to obtain specific contract terms, cost figures and timeline before committing.
Why it matters: Shared services can reduce costs for small localities and provide access to broader technical capacity. Supervisors asked staff to return with price estimates and proposed contract terms so the board can decide whether to pursue regional assessor services.
Follow-up: staff to obtain cost models and a more fully developed proposal from CRC and report back to the board.
