Tax assessor raises concern about upcoming revaluation, says manager did not approve travel request
Summary
At the May 13 meeting, the Cherokee County tax assessor reported an upcoming property revaluation and said the county manager did not approve her budget request for travel and training to attend the NC Tax Collectors Association conference.
The Cherokee County tax assessor told the Board of Commissioners on May 13 that the county will have an upcoming property revaluation and that she was concerned the county manager did not approve her budget request for travel and training to attend the NC Tax Collectors Association conference.
The minutes record the assessors concern but do not show a response from County Manager Randy Wiggins or any immediate budget adjustment. The assessors travel request and the training funding were described as not having been approved by the county manager; the minutes do not specify the amount requested, alternative training plans, or any follow-up directive from the board.
Why this matters: property revaluations can affect taxable values and revenue projections; training for tax office staff can affect the assessors ability to complete a revaluation efficiently. The minutes show the assessor raised the issue to notify the board but do not record a board decision at the meeting.
Next steps: the item remains a budget-level concern to be addressed during upcoming budget worksessions where the full budget and any related travel/training lines will be considered.
