Resident objects to steep assessment notice; county points him to Board of Equalization

Washington County Board · March 24, 2025

Summary

A resident said his assessment notice showed about a 65% increase and asked the board for help; county staff directed him to the Commissioner's office and the Board of Equalization for relief and recommended filing an appeal appointment.

During the public-comment insertion the board allowed after tab 4, resident Randy Robertson said his notice showed roughly a 65% increase in assessed value and asked what he could do to contest it. Robertson said, "It our in our notice, her little paper said it was 1 up 65%, which I thought was just unreasonable." He asked whether the board could lower his tax load.

Board members directed Robertson to contact the Commissioner of Revenue's office (Miss Crabtree) and advised him to request an appointment with the Board of Equalization to present evidence for a valuation adjustment. Officials emphasized that valuation appeals handled by the Commissioner and the board of equalization are the appropriate administrative route rather than immediate action by the supervisory board.
