King William details 2027 reassessment plan, Vision Government Solutions contract and outreach
Summary
County staff said Vision Government Solutions will perform the 2027 general reassessment at a contract rate of $23.95 per parcel (12,447 parcels); staff detailed field procedures, increased scrutiny for parcels over $350,000, photo workflows, public notices and timelines with fieldwork expected to begin in February and substantial work completed by September.
County staff reported that the 2027 general reassessment contract was awarded to Vision Government Solutions. Staff outlined contract terms and operational features: a per-parcel contract rate of $23.95 based on 12,447 parcels, concurrent field-data entry and photo uploads into the county’s property records system, and enhanced review procedures (including extra documentation and photos) for parcels with assessed values above $350,000. The assessor’s office will continue to handle new-construction updates and building-permit data while Vision staff conduct field appraisals.
Staff emphasized public communication plans: reassessment notices to property owners, pamphlets explaining the process, a dedicated webpage with daily schedule updates where feasible, and staff availability for informal hearings. They noted that state law prevents a locality from receiving a tax “windfall” after reassessment because tax rates are equalized so that total revenue remains comparable; previous reassessments led the board to reduce rates to equalize revenue while reflecting new fair-market values.
Questions from supervisors focused on contractor presence in the county, timetables, how inaccessible or ‘no-trespass’ parcels are handled (use of EagleView/satellite imagery and other remote resources), the number of dwellings and homes under construction, and how partial completions are counted. Staff indicated fieldwork will begin in February with an anticipated assessment-completion target around September for on-site work and data collection, with public notices and hearings scheduled as assessments are finalized.
