Board votes to move property reassessments to a four‑year cycle
Summary
After a public hearing and discussion of costs and frequency, the board agreed by voice vote to reassess real estate every four years rather than every six, citing state code options and an estimated reassessment cost around $250,000.
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.
