Board votes to move property reassessments to a four‑year cycle

The Nottoway County Board of Supervisors opened a public hearing on the county’s general real‑estate reassessment schedule and voted to move to a four‑year reassessment cycle.

Staff quoted state code options and explained counties under certain population thresholds may choose reassessment intervals. During the hearing, a supervisor said a four‑year reassessment is reasonable and another cautioned against dropping below a five‑year interval due to cost; one board member cited an estimated cost for a shorter cycle of roughly $250,000. After discussion, a motion to reassess every four years passed by voice vote.

Board members said a four‑year schedule would allow the county to better track changing property values without the heavier cost and pressure of a three‑year cycle. No roll‑call vote was recorded in the transcript.

“I would be safe with saying 4,” the chair said when explaining their personal preference for a four‑year cycle during debate.

The board gave consensus and then approved a motion to set the reassessment interval at four years; staff will proceed with scheduling and budgeting for the next reassessment under that timetable.
