Jones County assessors face removal process after peer review flags compliance gaps; commissioners request reevaluation RFP

Mister Nolan, an attorney retained by the Jones County Board of Commissioners, told the Board of Tax Assessors on Feb. 6 that the commissioners voted to remove two members of the assessors’ board and that the removals are subject to a Superior Court hearing under state law. "On February 3, I filed a petition asking for a hearing," Nolan said, and he cited OCGA 48-5-295 as the statute that requires a judicial recommendation before the commissioners take a final removal vote.
