Supervisors discussed the county’s general reassessment and the appeals process during the Feb. 2 work session. Supervisor Ryan Cubbage noted that the deadline to file an appeal with Cowan Services is Feb. 10, 2026, with subsequent appeals to the Board of Equalization after appointment.
County Administrator Amity Moler told the Board that no tax rate has been increased since 2019, the Personal Property tax has been lowered by 34 cents, and the $60 per‑ton landfill fee for Page County residents has been eliminated. The Board was in consensus that they would work to lower the real estate tax rate for FY2027 to help offset higher assessed values; the Board did not adopt a new rate at the meeting and appeal schedules with the Board of Equalization were not yet set.
