Hampton County delays 2026 countywide reassessment by one year
Summary
Council passed third reading of an ordinance to postpone the countywide reassessment originally scheduled for 2026 to 2027, citing staffing and operational gaps in the assessor's office.
Hampton County Council on May 19 approved third reading of an ordinance to postpone the implementation of the countywide reassessment scheduled for 2026 by one year, moving it to 2027.
County staff told council the postponement was proposed because the assessor’s office has been without an assessor for about a year and the office has experienced leadership and operational challenges that staff said need to be resolved before conducting a countywide reassessment. The ordinance would shift the reassessment from 2026 to 2027.
After a public hearing and staff explanation, a council member moved to adopt third reading; council approved the motion by voice vote (no roll-call tally provided in the transcript). Staff said the change is intended to allow time to resolve office staffing and operational issues before undertaking the reassessment process.
