County assessor: reassessment notices to mail Friday; county average market value up about 21–24%
Summary
Regina Pucket, the commissioner of the revenue, told the board reassessment notices will go out this Friday, with an appeals deadline of March 24; staff estimates a county average market increase near 24% (about 21% when land‑use parcels are included). Residents can appeal via mail or email or meet an appraiser.
Regina Pucket, King George County’s commissioner of the revenue, briefed the board March 3 on the reassessment process and the timeline for appeals.
Pucket said reassessment notices are scheduled to be mailed this Friday and that property owners will have until March 24 to submit an appeal, either by mailing the appeal form, emailing it, or scheduling a meeting with an appraiser. She and Gary Enthan Andrews from the reassessment vendor (a division of Vision Government Solutions) explained the mass‑appraisal methods — cost, income and sales comparison approaches — used to compute new market values and described the appeal process and the subsequent board of equalization schedule.
The presenters told the board the county average market value increase is roughly 24%; when land‑use parcels are considered the county average increase would be just under 21%. Pucket stressed the reassessment is mandated by state law and emphasized that the commissioner’s office — not the board — conducts the revaluation, though the board appoints the local board of equalization for appeals.
“A notice will include options for appeal and an opportunity to speak with an appraiser,” Pucket said, noting staff will provide a tear‑off appeal form and a methodology letter explaining how valuations were computed. She urged supervisors to direct constituents with questions to the commissioner’s office so staff can respond directly.
Board members asked about the timing for receiving reassessment totals for budget work. Pucket said she expected the numbers to be in staff systems by the end of the next business day and that staff would start the work to provide estimates for the FY27 tax rate calculations, subject to appeals.
What this means: Homeowners should expect reassessment notices in their mailboxes this week and should review them promptly. Appeals must be filed by March 24; after appeals are processed the county will convene the local board of equalization to hear contested cases.
