Sullivan County raises assessment-export fee from $0.05/parcel to $600 per export
Summary
The county commissioners unanimously approved raising the Assessment Exporting Fee to a flat $600 per export, replacing the previous $0.05-per-parcel rate (historically about $450 per export); commissioners said the fee had not been increased for at least 17 years.
The Sullivan County Commissioners voted on April 21 to increase the county ssessment Exporting Fee from $0.05 per parcel to a flat fee of $600 per export.
Commissioner Darlene Fenton moved for the increase, noting the fee had not been raised in at least 17 years; Commissioner Brian Hoffman seconded the motion, which the board approved unanimously. The minutes characterize the prior per-parcel practice as producing approximately $450 per export under typical parcel counts; the new flat fee sets a firm administrative charge of $600 per export.
The change takes effect immediately as recorded in the meeting minutes; the chief clerk did not record any exemptions or phased implementation steps during the meeting. The board did not record additional discussion of appeals or waiver processes in the minutes.
Next steps: the Assessment office will apply the new flat fee to future data exports; any operational questions about frequency of exports or appeals were not specified in the meeting record.
