Presenter says new appraiser needs staffing and technology after valuation capture shortfall
Summary
A presenter said the county's new appraiser has made progress but needs additional staff and technology; the presenter said the county captured 4.2% of available valuation out of 7.4% and described that gap as about $6,000,000 with sales-tax revenue implications.
The presenter told commissioners the county has a new appraiser who has "done a great job" but still requires additional staffing and technology investment. "She needs some staffing. She needs some technology," the presenter said, and described the budget including resources to address those needs.
The presenter also explained a valuation shortfall: "We captured 4.2% of the valuation of the 7.4 that was available. That's about $6,000,000 of difference." The presenter said the gap will affect revenues and that the county will "have to give up some sales tax revenue on that as well." The presenter did not provide statutory citations or detailed spreadsheets in the presentation; figures were presented verbally and described as approximations.
