Assessor says TIF was mistakenly counted as growth; board seeks itemized breakdown
Summary
Assessor Christy told the Hall County Board that TIF amounts were entered as growth in the certified valuation; she removed those entries, re-ran totals, and agreed to provide a top-10 list of growth contributors for board review.
The Hall County Board of Commissioners pressed assessing staff over why the certified growth number changed and learned that TIF entries had been misclassified as growth in the certification process. At the board's request, Christy said she removed TIF-related entries and recalculated the growth figure.
Christy said the error occurred when field staff entered recently completed TIF projects as new growth; she apologized and explained she re-ran and hand-checked the figures. "So the TIF was entered as growth, so which it shouldn't have been," Christy said, and she agreed to email a short, sortable list of the largest growth contributors to county staff so commissioners can confirm the major items.
