Bacon County OKs $265,250 contract for countywide property reassessment
Summary
The Bacon County Board of Commissioners approved a $265,250 contract with GMASS/Board of Assessors for a full county walk-around reassessment in 2027, plus new-property pickups in 2026 and appeals assistance.
The Bacon County Board of Commissioners voted Feb. 17 to approve a $265,250 contract with GMASS/Board of Assessors for a countywide property reassessment.
Commissioner Corey Tyre moved to approve the proposal, which the minutes list as covering a full walk-around of all taxable property in 2027, pickup of new property in 2026 and assistance with appeals. Commissioner Lonann Sweat seconded the motion; the minutes record the motion carried.
County officials present listed the cost as $265,250.00. The board did not record additional details in the minutes about the contract timeline, payment schedule, or appeals process beyond the broad description provided during the presentation.
The reassessment will affect how properties are valued for tax purposes once completed and could lead to appeals; the minutes record that appeals assistance was part of GMASS’s proposal but do not specify anticipated staffing, timeline milestones, or how the county will notify taxpayers of changes.
The board handled this item on the consent/agenda portion of the meeting and moved on to other business after the vote. The next procedural step in the minutes is the board’s consideration of other contracts and appointments at the same session.
