County property assessor and CTAS propose shortening reappraisal cycle to four years
Summary
A presentation by CTAS and Carter County property assessor recommended shortening the county's property reappraisal cycle from five to four years, citing state equalization reviews at two and four years.
Gabe Looney, a property assessment consultant with the County Technical Assistance Service (CTAS), and Shane Simerly, Carter County Property Assessor, presented the county’s reappraisal process and argued that the county should shorten its reappraisal cycle from five years to four.
Looney and Simerly explained that the state performs equalization reviews at the two- and four-year marks; the consultants said those reviews can reduce tax revenue for properties when adjustments are made and that moving to a four-year cycle aligns better with state review timing. Both presenters said they agreed the time was right to move from a five-year cycle to four years.
Commissioners received the presentation as part of the agenda; the minutes record the content of the presentation but do not show a formal vote on the reappraisal schedule at this meeting.
