County appraisal contractor outlines 2026 reappraisal process, warns homeowners to expect notices
Summary
Pearson Appraisal told the board the county‑wide reappraisal will set values to fair market value effective Jan. 1, 2026; field visits, a computer system migration, mailing of notices in November and informal appeal windows were described.
Bobby Pearson of Pearson Appraisal briefed the Greensville County Board of Supervisors on Feb. 3 about the county‑wide property reappraisal the firm is conducting. Pearson said the reappraisal uses fair market value with an effective date of Jan. 1, 2026, and that the firm began work in October using 2023–24 sales as part of its valuation analysis.
Pearson outlined the process: appraisers are conducting door‑to‑door visits, taking photographs and verifying tax card data; the county will migrate from the Stonewall Technologies system to a new computer platform (migration expected around April–June). Notices of assessment will be mailed in November and informal appeals will be available to property owners who believe errors were made. Pearson cautioned that rising market values could lead to tax rate adjustments by the board, noting that his role is to produce fair assessments and that the board sets the tax rate.
Pearson said appraisers will wear identification, display signs and provide county images of staff and vehicle details. He invited residents to contact county revenue staff or his office with questions and offered to meet with disgruntled property owners. The presentation closed with a reminder that the firm will attempt to correct errors discovered during the appeal process.
