Board directs Mount Rogers planning district to manage next general reassessment
Summary
County staff outlined options to run the next general reassessment in-house or join a Mount Rogers Planning District procurement; the board directed Mount Rogers to run procurement citing potential economies of scale and the typical small bidder pool for assessments.
County staff reviewed options for the county's next general reassessment and the procurement approach. Staff emphasized the statutory schedule — "By law, based on population, Washington County has to have a general reassessment at least once every 4 years" — and discussed typical costs and bidder capacity.
Staff said the low bid for the last general reassessment was "about a $500,000," and explained appeals procedures (board of assessors, Board of Equalization, circuit court). They noted that few firms statewide bid on large reassessment jobs and that participating with Mount Rogers Planning District can attract a larger bidder pool and potentially lower costs through bulk procurement. After discussion about timeline and control, the board voted to authorize Mount Rogers to run the procurement and return a recommendation to the board for final contract approval.
