Bertie County board approves full-measure approach for 2028 reappraisal
Summary
Commissioners approved pursuing a full-measure reappraisal method for the 2028 countywide property revaluation, after staff reported the county has been setting aside approximately $80,000 annually toward the effort and recommended contracting with a vendor this year.
County staff and commissioners agreed to proceed with a full-measure countywide reappraisal in 2028, signaling a shift from the cheaper street-view method the county has used in the past.
Jody Ray told the board the county has been setting aside about $80,000 annually for reappraisal work and that using a full-measure list was the staff recommendation. Commissioners discussed public-notice strategies and how to identify field staff conducting measurements so residents will recognize official contractors.
Members asked staff to return with a communication plan that includes vehicle/ID marking, website and direct notices to property owners ahead of any walk-arounds, and to provide comparative figures for prior-year collections as requested earlier in the meeting.
