You're,

Tapped
in
Buncombe
County's
half
hour
to
empower
on
wres
100.7
FM
in
Asheville,
listen
up
and
get
tapped
into
local
important
resources.
Information
and
topics

today's
show
at
buncombecounty.org.
Okay,
it's
time
to
get
tapped
in
hello,
hello,
hello,
oh
to
those
who
are
listening
to
my
voice.
This
is
tapped
in
and
I
am
zakiyah
Bill
Rogers
and
my
co-host
and.
B
A
A
D
A
D
A
C
In
order
to
to
put
these
clinics
on
so
that
residents
of
Buncombe
County
did
have
somebody
that
was
outside
of
Keith's
office
that
they
cut
could
come
and
ask
questions
of
and
sort
of
help
if
they
had
some
some
questions
around
the
reappraisal
process
or
if
they
did
want
to
to
start
the
process,
an
appeal
that
somebody
would
be
there
to
try
to
help
them
out
with
that
and
navigate
the
process.
Again,
that
was
outside
of
Keith's
office
that
somebody
felt
like
that
they
maybe
had
an
advocate
there.
B
C
And
then
some
community
members-
and
so
it
was
all
centered
around
Equity
as
far
as
the
reappraisal
went
in
Boston
County,
and
so
it
was
a
a
process
that
we
initially
thought
would
take
two
three
four
months
that
it
ended
up,
taking
I
think
a
little
bit
over
six
or
eight
months.
And
so.
But
we
have
been
able
to
to
give
those
recommendations
to
the
the
County
Commissioners.
And
this
is
just
one
of
those
things
that
was
sort
of
born
out
of
those
recommendations
and.
B
C
So
the
land
of
Scott,
Realtor
Association,
is
our
local
Organization
for
real
estate,
Professionals
in
really
in
Asheville
and
Buncombe
County.
So
how
it
breaks
down
is
is
lots
are
as
our
local
local
board
and
then
we've
also
got
a
National
Organization
and
a
state-run
organization,
and
so
that
so
the
land
of
sky
is
our
sort
of
local
board
that
and
they
provide
anything
from
professional
development
and
continuing
education
to
Opportunities,
like
this,
to
give
back
to
the
community
and
and
utilize
our
skills
as
real
estate
Professionals.
A
C
A
C
A
C
Something:
that's
that's.
What
I
call
sticker
shot
and
I
think
a
lot
of
people
got
sticker
shock
when
they
got
their
their
their
reappraisal
a
couple
years
ago,
and
so
yeah
I
mean
I.
You
know
I
heard
from
from
folks
that
I'm
friends
with
or
colleagues
with
or
clients
of
mine,
that
called
them
and
were
like.
Oh
my
gosh,
our
property
value
went
up.
Xyz
percent,
you
know
when
we
got
our
our
reappraisal
and
fortunately
or
unfortunately,
however,
we
we
tend
to
look
at
that.
You
know
Keys
office.
C
B
C
Well,
when
you
get
your
reappraisal
after
four
years,
you
are
going
to
have
sticker
shot,
because
you
do
see
that
the
market
is
going
up.
You
know
five
percent
10
15
a
year
and
so
yeah
folks
are
starting
to
see
sticker
shock
and
I
totally
get
it,
because
if
you're
not
looking
at
the
market,
I
look
at
the
market
every
day.
That's
it's!
C
Well,
if
you
do
feel
like
that,
your
your
assessment
is
too
high,
come
to
one
of
these
clinics
and
let's
take
a
look
at
it
in
a
real
estate
professional
can
help
you
pull
comps
and
look
at
those
things
and
just
see
if
Keys
officer
is
on
point
or
if
not.
If
not,
then
we
can
help
you
navigate
that
that
process
so.
C
Yeah,
thank
you
for
I,
say
it
like.
Everybody
knows
what
that
is.
So
a
comp
is
just
short
for
a
comparable
sale,
basically,
and
so,
and
that's
what
we
as
appraisers
and
as
a
real
estate,
professional
or
a
broker.
That's
what
we
use
to
to
determine
fair
market
value
is
what
other
sales
in
a
particular
neighborhood
have
seen
over
the
last.
For
me,
I
tend
to
use
something:
that's
happened
over
the
last
six
or
eight
months,
because
I
need
to
use
something.
That's
a
little
more
time,
sensitive
and
relevant.
C
B
I've
been
there
and
it's
like
oh
I,
got
a
new
house
across
the
street
new
house
across
the
street.
Everything
a
lot
of
people.
Think
oh
my
value
in
my
house
and
the
assessments
going
on.
Is
that
true?
Or
is
it
when
you
talk
about
comps?
Is
that
I'm
not
looking
at
other
established
homes
within
my
neighborhood?
Not
the
new
construction
that
just
popped
up
on.
C
C
Unless
you
and
we'll
use
an
example
in
Kenilworth,
for
example,
I,
don't
think
Keys
office
would
use
a
brand
new
construction
that
they
like
on
an
infill
construction
lot
in
Kenilworth.
It's
built
in
2022
I.
Don't
think
that
they're
going
to
compare
a
1920s
house
to
a
brand
new
construction,
I
I
can
only
speak
for
me
professionally.
C
D
B
D
A
D
What
we're
going
to
look
for
is
in
the
in
the
neighborhood
you're
talking
about.
There
should
be
well
established
homes
in
that
year
range
that
when
they
were
originally
built,
maybe
been
within
a
10-year
range.
So
that's
the
market
in
that
neighborhood
itself.
So
it's
kind
of
hard
to
say
if
it's
five
years,
ten
years
or
two
years,
but
the
main
thing
is
that
the
well-established
homes
in
that
neighborhood
those
need
to
be
compared
to
those
homes.
Okay,
the
brand
new
homes
again
should
not
be.
D
A
A
Like
doing
all
these
things,
that
I
saw
so
how
do
we
as
a
community,
get
educated
on
these
things,
because
a
lot
of
us
have
bought
houses
and
we
just
picked
up
habits
from
our
parents,
but
we
don't
understand
assessments.
You
know,
I,
never
heard
my
parents
talk
about
assessments
and
I
own
property
in
another
state.
I
never
heard
my
parents
talk
about.
You,
know
taxes
it
going
up
or
anything
those
things
just
were
not
shared
with
us.
So
how
do
we
continue
to
educate
our
community?
You.
D
Know
we
we're
making
now
a
larger
effort
than
we
ever
have
to
get
information
out
to
the
residents
of
Buncombe
County
to
better
understand
this
process.
Yes,
but
one
thing
I
say
to
the
residents
is
that
you
got
to
seek
the
information
too.
Okay,
I
can
put
it
out,
but
I.
Ask
you
to
please
meet
me
halfway
and
seek
the
information
and
we'll
share
with
you
and
we'll
we'll
do
what
we
can
to
help.
You
better
understand
it
this
event,
even
from
the
appeals
Clinic.
D
Even
if
you
don't
decide
you
don't
want
to
appeal,
it's
a
great
place
to
start
being
educated.
You
can
ask
these
real
there's
a
lot
of
questions
and
they'll
be
able
to
answer
them
and
the
the
business
is
closely
related.
Okay,
we
may
be
doing
it
for
a
different
reason
than
they're
doing
it,
but
we're
still
all
after
the
same
thing
and
that's
market
value
of
the
property
can.
C
D
C
B
C
Yeah,
let
me
shuffle
my
papers
around
real,
quick
and
so
we've
got
a
few
of
them
scheduled
right
now,
Leonard
and
so
I'll
run
through
those
real
quick
I
know
that
that
they're
also
on
Buncombe
County's
website
I'll,
let
Keith
plug
that
that
web
address
or
yours
Kia
plug
that.
But
I'll
just
give
a
quick
rundown.
So
so
January
12th,
that's
a
Thursday
from
4
to
6
p.m.
C
We're
going
to
be
at
the
Weaverville
Library,
that's
right,
downtown,
Weaverville
and
then
the
21st
of
January,
which
is
a
Saturday
from
11
to
5.,
we'll
be
doing
a
call-in
event.
So
if,
if
you're,
homebound
or
don't
have
transportation
or
just
don't,
feel
like
getting
out
and
come
and
seeing
and
seeing
somebody
in
person,
we
are
going
to
do
a
call-in
event
and
so
keys
to
office,
as
well
as
the
I'm.
Assuming
your
guys's
office
will
put
the
telephone
number
and
the
ways
to
to
get
in
touch
on
that.
C
The
26th,
which
is
a
Thursday
from
11
30
to
1
30,
will
be
at
Ingles
in
on
Leicester
Highway
and
then
in
February
it'll
be
February
7th,
which
is
a
Tuesday
from
11
30
to
1
30,
we'll
be
at
the
Ingles
and
Black
Mountain.
So
we're
trying
to
hit
a
few
of
the
spots
all
around
the
county
and
and
so
we're
we're
hopeful
that
again
that
we
do
get
some
some
a
nice
turnout
on
on
some
of
these,
and
so
people.
B
A
C
C
Fifty
thousand
dollars
over
assessed,
then
at
that
point
we
can
help
them
file.
That
appeal
come
up
with
a
comparable
sales,
send
those
to
keys
to
office
through
the
Buncombe
County
website
and
really
do
everything
that
you'll
need
to
do
as
far
as
an
appeal
right
there
within
I
would
say
within
a
half
hour.
So
so
it's
a
pretty
painless
process
and
we'll
walk
the
resident
through
the
the
appeals
process.
If
that's
something
they
want
to
do.
Yeah.
A
And
I've
been
to
you
know,
since
having
all
these
conversations
with
Keith
and
you
I
have
started
like
looking
more
on
the
website
and
everything
again.
I
pulled
my
Buckland
County
card
tax
card
and
just
went
through
and
ran
what
they
said.
My
house
was,
and
it
I
bought
my
house
15
years
ago,
but
it
had
I
didn't
have
a
fireplace
on
it.
A
C
C
B
D
D
D
C
D
C
D
Can
you
can
go
right
there
to
the
website
at
your
home,
on
your
computer
or
on
your
phone
go
to
that
tax.buffincounty.org
and
you
can
file
your
appeal
right
there,
but
you're
alone,
you
don't
have
to
have
somebody
help
you
you
can
do
it
yourself.
It's
it's!
You
just
got
to
answer
a
few
questions
hit
submit
it'll
come
to
the
appraiser,
that's
assigned
to
it,
and
so
I
want
to
be
in
contact
with
you.
A
So
it
is
brand
spanking
new,
but
it
is
full
of
information
and
easy
to
navigate.
So
if
you
want
to
hear
what
that
was,
it
is
tax,
Dot,
bucklingcounty.org
and
if
you
just
want
to
look
through
it
before
you,
do
it
yeah,
let's
just
get
familiar
with
it
because
January
the
first
will
be
here
very
quickly
and
just
look
at
your
information
and
make
sure
your
house
matches
the
information.
That's
there
so
I
also
watch
social
media
and
the
County
website
for
additional
updates.
A
B
B
D
Yeah,
so
so
the
toolkit
is
pretty
much
in
the
website
now:
okay,
okay,
if
you
go
to
the
website
and
you
do
that
search
and
you
go
to
your
property
record,
there's,
there's
basically
a
toolkit
there
that
will
let
you
see
all
your
property
characteristics.
You
can
file
an
appeal.
You
can
submit
a
change.
You
can
see
a
map
of
your
property.
Everything
that
you
would
pretty
much
want
to
know
will
be
on
that
page.
For
you.
A
C
I
mean
I,
think
we
we
it's
been
very
comprehensive.
What
we've
talked
about
today,
I
do
want
to
encourage
folks,
I'll
say
it
again.
If
you
think
that
it's
that
it's
a
dumb
question
or
you
shouldn't,
ask
it
or
you
don't
feel
comfortable,
please
we
we
are
there
to
help
serve
the
the
residents
of
Baltimore
County
we're
going
to
be
there
please
come
out
if
you've
got
questions
concerns
comments.
A
You
know
a
lot
of
folks,
you
know
I
know
this
may
see,
seem
really
scary
and
we
just
I
mean
if
you're
able
to
wake
up
in
the
morning
and
get
up
and
go
there.
We
just
survived
a
pandemic.
You
got
this
we're
going
to
tackle
taxes
together
because
we
are
as
a
community.
You
know
it's
something
that
it
is
new
and
old
to
some
folks
and
we're
going
to
do
this
together.
If
you
want
to
find
information,
you
can
go
to
lotsar,
that's
l-o-t-s-a-r,
dot,
org
and
they'll.
A
A
B
A
Yes,
it's
scary,
but
you
know
what
we're
not
going
to
operate
in
the
in
the
in
the
the
feeling
of
fear
of
taxes.
We're
going
to
tackle
this
because
taxes
help
could
take
our
community
to
the
next
level.
It
helps
us
have
fire
department
and
EMS
and
people
who
work
in
Social,
Services
and
things
of
that
nature.
It
helps
our
community
to
move.
So
you
know
that's
why
this
is
so
important.
D
I
I
want
to
reiterate
some
of
the
things
that's
already
been
said
again
before
we
go.
Is
that
please
take
advantage
of
this?
If
you
have
concerns,
if
you
think
your
property's
over
assessed,
if
you
think
you're
paying
too
much
in
tax,
please
come
out
and
let
these
professionals
help
you
it's
going
to
be
a
great
environment.
It's
going
to
be
very
comfortable.
There's
no
pressure,
but
you've
got
a
great
group
of
individuals
who
are
going
to
sit
in
front
of
you.
D
B
And
I
just
like
to
add
just
like
with
the
plea
to
come
out
to
some
of
these
clinics
to
find
out
more
information.
This
is
a
great
example
of
just
seeing
government
at
work.
We
saw
that
it
was
an
issue
in
our
community.
A
ad
hoc
reappraisal
committee
was
formed
and
discussion
was
happening
with
a
diverse
group
of
people
about
this
matter
and.
B
C
B
Looks
like
they
will
start
on
January
the
12th,
the
January,
the
12th,
that
we
revealed
January
the
21st
it'll,
be
a
call-in
event
on
the
January,
the
24th
Scotland
library,
January
26th
at
Ingles
and
leaseless
the
highway
and
on
February
the
7th
at
Ingles
and
black
mountain,
and,
as
we
mentioned,
if
there's
a
high
demand,
there'll
be
a
lot
more
planets
out
into
Community
to
help
better
serve
the
community.
So
come
on
now.
C
A
A
Before
we
even
get
to
the
show,
we
always
have
a
ton
of
questions
and
they're
always
and
they're
very
nice.
They
always
answer
so
my
plea
to
the
community
as
a
we
embark
on
a
new
year
coming
as
soon
as
we
go
to
sleep
and
wake
up
we'll
be
celebrating
an
entire
New
Year.
We
always
look
at
new
resolutions
and
we
always
break
them.
But
let's
make
this
one
together
that
we
will
become
healthier
in
our
taxes.
A
You
know
we
want
to
exercise
our
rights
and
our
privileges
as
homeowners
who
actually
support
the
ongoings
in
the
community.
So
we
want
to
be
one
Buncombe
and
get
everything
done
that
we
need
to
I
know
that
it
is
hard
and
sometimes
like
I,
said
fear
gets
in
the
way.
But
if
you
don't
ask
you
don't
know
so,
instead
of
us
ignoring
the
problem,
we're
going
to
face
it
together
and
we're
going
to
face
