Greensville County staff told the board they will seek a 90‑day extension to complete the county’s 2025 property reassessment after data and address issues surfaced during a software transition.

Bridal Pearson of Vision Government Solutions, the vendor conducting the reassessment work, told the board the county faces name/address transfer and billing‑information problems after switching from the prior vendor. “You’re looking at probably over 60% increase,” Pearson said when asked to estimate the change in assessed values under the six‑year cycle, citing trends seen in neighboring counties.

Why it matters: Large increases in assessed values can lead to more appeals and concern among property owners, and the reassessment process affects tax‑rate decisions and county revenue planning. Staff said the extension requires a court order and asked the board to approve Resolution 26‑15 to request that extension.

Details: County staff explained the data migration created dozens of pages of address updates that needed manual correction and that the commissioner’s office experienced staffing changes (retirement) that slowed the process. Staff and the vendor recommended the 90‑day extension to allow data corrections, reduce expected appeal volume, and ensure notices are accurate before they go out.

Board action and next steps: The board voted to approve Resolution 26‑15 directing staff and counsel to seek a court order for the extension. Staff said deputy staff have been reassigned to assist with address corrections and that Pearson and the county will continue to coordinate to complete the reassessment work.

Open questions: Pearson’s percentage estimate is an initial projection and may change with finalized valuations; staff recommended communicating with taxpayers about the reassessment and potential tax‑rate offsets to mitigate sticker shock.
