Resident criticizes county tax appraisal process, says appraisals cost millions
Summary
A public commenter alleged commercial appraisals are producing large revenue losses and urged the county to hire licensed commercial appraisers; commissioners noted the claim and moved on to other agenda items.
During the public‑comment period, an unidentified resident (Unidentified Speaker 11) addressed the board with a sustained critique of the county tax office’s appraisal practices. The speaker alleged that the county paid tens of thousands for an evaluation that produced little documentation, and claimed the county is losing millions because commercial appraisals are not performed by fully licensed commercial appraisers. The commenter contrasted Alamance County staffing and results with neighboring Union County, argued that hiring licensed commercial appraisers is necessary, and said the issue had been raised with commissioners previously without satisfactory response.
Commissioners acknowledged the comment and proceeded with the consent agenda; no formal action or staff directive related to the tax‑office allegation was recorded during the meeting.
