Description
Every four years the Buncombe County Board of Commissioners voted to have a property tax reappraisal for the County. What does that mean for property owners? Check out this town hall for a lot of great information. You can also visit buncombecounty.org/tax to find great information about the reappraisal.
A
A
A
A
A
Okay,
we
are
now
live.
Welcome
everyone
to
the
reappraisal
town
hall
that
we're
doing
with
the
buncombe
county
tax
office.
We're
gonna
get
all
of
your
questions
answered
about
the
reappraisal
process,
and
I
just
have
a
few
introductory
comments
that
I
want
to
make
before.
We
start
one
we're
going
to
be
doing
two
of
these
this
one
and
want
to
participate
in
the
next
one.
It
will
take
place
on
monday
august
24th
at
4
pm.
A
If
you'd
like
to
participate
in
the
zoom
call,
there
is
a
zoom
call
taking
place,
that's
being
streamed
to
social
media.
You
can
join
the
zoom
call
with
the
information
in
our
events
under
facebook
and
if
you
want
to
ask
questions
directly,
you
can
email
them
to
realestate.questions
at
buncombecounty.org
and
please
chime
in
because
this
is
a
community
conversation.
A
If
you're
a
spanish-speaking
audience
member
you
can,
if
you're
in
zoom,
you
can
click
on
the
globe
at
the
bottom
and
go
and
listen
to
the
spanish
interpretation.
That's
also
live,
or
if
you're
watching
this
on
facebook,
you
can
visit
health
and
human
services
page
to
listen
to
it
in
spanish.
And
finally,
we
have
a
lot
of
questions
to
get
through
and
only
an
hour
to
do
so.
So
I'm
going
to
be
monitoring
facebook
and
the
zoom
for
all
comments
that
we
receive
in
questions
we
receive.
A
B
The
assessor
is
responsible
for
the
listing
and
assessment
of
all
taxable
property
in
the
county.
That's
and
when
I
say
taxable
property.
Let's
see
we
can
expand
upon
that
a
little
bit.
That's
not
only
real
estate.
Sometimes
when
I
say
that
people
think
I
only
mean
real
estate
and
that's
not
true.
B
Any
taxable
property
would
be
real
estate
improvements
to
that
real
estate
of
any
kind
or
motor
vehicles.
Campers
motorhomes
boats,
utility
trailers,
any
kind
of
assets
that
are
taxable
in
the
state
of
north
carolina.
D
A
B
The
reappraisal
is
a
function
and
which
is
set
forth
in
the
north
county
general
statute,
that
all
counties
in
the
state
of
north
carolina
must
complete
and
what
the
reappraisal
is
and
is
the
reevaluation
of
all
real
estate.
Only
real
estate
now
we're
talking
about
not
other
personal
property,
we're
only
talking
about
real
estate,
and
that
is
to
put
a
new
market
value
on
all
real
estate
in
the
county.
B
B
The
statute
requires
the
assessor
to
do
it.
A
minimum
of
every
eight
years,
buncombe
county
has
been
on
a
four-year
cycle
for
many
years.
The
board
of
commissioners
have
the
option
at
any
time
to
advance
that
reappraisal
to
a
shorter
term
such
as
four
years
four
years
does
work
better
when
you're
in
a
real
estate
market.
That
has
a
lot
of
appreciation.
B
It
does
keep
up
with
the
market
a
little
faster,
plus,
there's
also
places
in
the
statute
that
are
triggers
in
between
eight
year
cycle.
If
a
sales
ratio
drops
believe
a
certain
percent,
then
it
automatically
triggers
a
reappraisal.
So
there's
a
few
different
ways
that
it
can
happen
and
reasons
that
it
happens.
A
B
Well,
yeah,
I
mean
that's,
that's
what
buckingham
county's
been
on
and
that's
what
as
long
as
the
market
stays
the
way
it
is,
I
would
not
foresee
us
recommending
to
do
anything
different,
but
eight
years
is
the
requirement
by
the
statute,
but
buncombe
county.
I
would
for
see
staying
on
a
four-year
cycle.
B
Well,
reappraisal
now
is
only
real
estate,
okay,
only
land
and
improvements
to
that
land.
So
if
you
own
a
piece
of
land,
we're
going
to
value
that,
if
it's
vacant,
we
value
it
if
it
has
a
building
on
it,
a
house
a
warehouse,
a
commercial
building
whatever
it
might
be,
that's
what
we're
going
to
re-value
doing
a
reappraisal,
not
personal
property,
not
business
value,
not
business
assets,
business
assets
and
personal
property
are
valued
each
year.
Okay,
not
in
a
reappraisal
cycle
only
applies
to
real
estate,
real.
B
52.9
cents,
so
that's
52.9,
that's
per
100.
So
if
you
want
to
calculate
your
tax
bill,
you
can
take
your
value
divide
it
by
100.
Multiply
it
times.
0.529
and
that'll.
Give
you
an
estimate
estimate
of
what
your
county
taxes
would
be.
Now
that
does
not
include
your
fire
district
or,
if
you're
in
a
municipality,
that's
only
county,
so
52.9.
B
The
tax
rate,
yes,
that
the
tax
rate
is
set
by
the
board
of
commissioners,
okay,
so
once
the
board
of
commissioners
each
year,
that
rate
can
change
each
year
and
that
rate
is
really
looks
at
what
the
budget
is.
When,
when
the
commissioners
decide
how
much
money,
how
much
revenue
they
need
each
year
to
cover
the
budget,
then
they
convert
that
into
a
rate
based
on
what
the
total
taxable
value
for
the
county
is,
and
that
is
determined
each
year.
Based
upon
what
the
budget.
A
B
So
we
do
it
on
a
bigger
scale
and
we
do
it
using
a
lot
of
statistics
and
a
lot
of
computer
programs
that
helps
us
do
it.
But
that
is
the
simplicity
of
it.
Is
that
if
you
own
a
thousand
square
foot
house
on
a
half
acre
lot
and
you
go
down
the
street
and
someone
else
owns
a
thousand
twelve
hundred
square
foot
house
on
an
average
lot
and
whatever
that
house
sold
for
if
it's
comparable
to
yours,
then
that's
a
good
indicator
of
what
your
home
should
be
worth
so
really
reappraisal.
B
B
It's
a
lot
to
do
and
there's
a
lot
of
parcels
in
the
county
for
us
to
apply
that
to,
but
that,
if
you're
curious
about
what
your
home
should
be
worth,
what
your
property
should
be
worth.
That's
the
way
to
do
it.
A
B
We
determine
it
based
on
our
own
factors.
Now
it
is
based
on
appraisable
principles
and
theory.
So,
if
you've
had
a
recent
appraisal
on
your
home,
then
it's
basically
the
same
thing
that
we
do.
We
just
don't
do
it
on
a
per
parcel.
We
don't.
We
can't
do
an
individual
appraisal
on
every
house
in
the
county.
We
do
a
mass
appraisal,
which
means
we
value
groups
of
like
homes,
but
it's
basically
the
same
concept.
Now
zillow's
a
little
different.
I
mean
you
can
look
at
zillow
the
good
thing
for
zillow.
B
It
will
tell
you
what
other
things
around
you
have
sold
and
what
they're
selling
for,
but
they
use
different
algorithms
to
determine
what
that
value
is
and
apply
it
to
your
home.
So
you
know
sometimes
it'll
be
close,
and
sometimes
it
won't.
So
you
know
I
just
caution
you
to
you
know
be
careful
about
that.
Although
zillow
is
a
is
a
good
avenue
for
to
look
up
data
and
things
that
have
sold
around
you.
So
you.
A
B
It
can
be
all
the
both.
So
what's
the
what's,
the
simplest
group
is
to
look
at
a
subdivision
if
you
have
a
home
inside
a
well-defined
subdivision
and
these
all
these
homes
are
comparable
and
quality
year
built
in
in
a
similar
range
of
square
feet.
Those
are
the
group
of
properties
that
we'll
value
together.
B
Then,
if
we
go
beyond
that
which
is
not
in
a
subdivision,
then
we
we
will
span,
we
will
go
out
a
little
further
to
look
for
different
homes
and
put
them
together
in
groups
based
on
square
footage.
Your
your
bill
quality,
a
lot
of
different
things
that
we
look
at.
B
We
will
mail
you
a
notice
of
value
for
the
reappraisal
sometime
around
the
first
of
february,
telling
you
what
that
value
will
be
starting
january.
1.
A
B
Is
an
appeal
process?
That's
in
place,
so
if
you
get
that
value
and
you
look
at
it
and
say
well
something's
wrong,
because
there's
no
way
my
house
could
be
valued
at
that,
then
the
first
thing
I
I
suggest
you
to
do-
is
that
do
what
we
just
spoke
about.
Go
back.
First,
look
in
your
neighborhood
look
at
homes
that
have
sold
look
at
homeless
for
sale,
also
and
see
what
those
values
are
and
then
look
at
your
value
and
see
how
it
compares.
B
If
you
then
think
that
something
is
wrong
with
your
value
and
we
need
to
take
another
look
at
it,
then
you
can
appeal
that
now
a
couple
ways
to
do
that
online.
We
have
online
appeals.
Now
you
can
go
to
the
buckingham
county
website.
You
can
fill
out
all
your
information
submit
it.
There
online
submit
the
information
with
it
that
you
gathered,
because
the
one
thing
the
appraiser
is
going
to
ask
you
in
that
appeal
process.
Is
that
how
did
you
determine
you
as
the
property
owner?
B
How
did
you
determine
what
your
value
should
be
versus
what
we
have
on
it?
Otherwise,
you're
probably
not
going
to
be
very
successful
in
the
appeal
process.
If
you
just
submit
the
appeal
to
anything
with
it.
The
other
way
is
that
you
can
call
this
office
and
we
will
mail
you
an
appeal
form.
You
can
fill
out
the
form
provide
the
information
mail,
it
back
to
us
email
it
back
to
us.
We
try
to
make
it
the
most
convenient
for
you
as
possible,
so
we're
happy
to
work
through
any
that
process
with
any
citizen.
B
That
has
a
question
about
that
value,
because
we
want
you
to
be
comfortable
with
it.
You
know
the
other
thing
that
can
affect.
That
is
that
I
encourage
everybody
to
go
to
our
website
and
look
at
your
property.
Look
at
the
square
footage.
Look
at
you
know
the
things
we
have
listed
on
your
home
to
make
sure
it's
listed
correctly.
A
So
what
would
you
say
if
someone
wanted
to
appeal?
What
were
what
would
be
some
tax
office
recommendations
that
they,
you
could
give
them
to
better
prepare,
because
you
said
that
you're
going
to
ask
them?
How
did
you
come
across
what
this
number
is
like?
How
do
they
come
across?
What
this
number
is,
what
are
some
things
they
can
do
to
prepare
for
an
appeal.
B
Yeah
and
the
good
thing
is
that
we
offer
the
citizens
some
tools
there,
so
you
can
go
to
our
website
and
we're
going
to
have
a
tool
available
for
you.
That's
called
copper
or
you
will
see.
We
have
a
new
tool
now
called
prc
and
the
citizen
can
go
to
that
site
now
and
type
in
their
address
and
it'll
pull
up
their
property,
and
you
can
quickly
be
able
to
see
at
least
three
comparables
for
your
home
and
max.
We
have
that
available
if
you'd
like
to,
if
we'd
like,
to
show.
D
B
C
Right,
we
I'll
show
you
the
the
the
prc.
We
don't
have
the
copper
quite
ready
to
share
just
yet.
Can
everyone
see
the
buncombe
county
assessment
property
search?
Page?
C
Yes,
okay,
so
I've
previously
selected
a
parcel.
When
you
get
to
this
point,
you
can
see
the
actual
photo
of
the
house.
You
can
pan
over
and
see
the
the
sketch
layout
that
we
have
for
the
property.
You
can
see
the
aerial
photograph
of
the
property
and,
as
you
scroll
down,
you
can
start
seeing
some
more
key
detail.
C
The
assessment
detail
shows
the
breakdown
between
the
land
value
and
the
building
value
and
they'll
give
you
the
total
taxable
value
from
that,
and
one
thing
I'll
point
out
that
keith
mentioned
already,
but
it
is
a
question
that
we
get
a
lot.
C
C
C
Any
of
the
detail
that
goes
in
that
that
helps
us
value
this
property.
All
this
information
is
here
one
good
good
thing
for
the
citizen
we
have
is,
if
you
see
a
problem
with
any
of
this
information,
you
can
click
here
and
it
will
pull
up
a
page
where
you
can
report
any
any
misinformation
that
we
may
have.
That
will
come
back
to
us
and
one
of
our
staff
appraisers
will
review
this
information.
C
A
C
This
is
available,
you
can
go
to
buncomecounty.org,
follow
the
prompts
to
the
tax
office,
real
property
and
then
just
click
on
the
property
look
up,
and
that
will
take
you
to
this
point.
A
C
Sure,
in
some
states
that
do
a
partial
assessment
they
will,
they
will
do
a
complete
appraisal
and
then
they'll
back
off
a
certain
percentage
and
that's
what
you're
taxed
on
north
carolina.
We
do
assess
at
100
market
value.
That
is
what
a
from
the
data
that
we've
collected
and
the
everything
that
we've
studied.
This
is
what
this
property
should
sell
for
between
a
willing,
buyer
and
seller.
As
of
that
date,.
A
And
you
recommend
people
go
to
this
website
before
the
appeal
and
to
make
sure
their
information
is
correct.
How
how
will
the
information
on
this
site
assist.
C
So
I
do
recommend
that
the
citizen
go
here.
It's
a
you
know
as
property
owners.
You
know
we
all
need
to
be
aware
of
what
we're
paying
while
we're
paying,
what
we're
paying
and
and
to
make
sure
that
the
data
that
we
have
is
listed
correctly.
C
We
do
we
go
to
great
lengths
to
to
list
property
correctly
everything
from
we
get
billing
permits.
We
have
access
to
mls
data,
but
you
know
sometimes
you
know
it's
not
uncommon
to
to
have
a
property
not
listed
100
correctly,
but
this
gives
the
citizen
an
opportunity
to
point
out
this
any
any
inaccuracies
to
us.
So
we
can
get
those
corrected
and
it'd
be
great
to
get
those
corrected
before
we
send
the
notices
out
in
january.
A
C
So
we
have
a
lot
of
steps
that
we
take.
We
have
a
certain
amount
of
what
we
call
maintenance
work
that
we
do
each
year
and
we'll
look
at
anywhere
from
20
to
25
000
properties
per
year,
whether
that
be
due
to
property
transfers,
land,
splits,
land
combinations,
building
permits
that
sort
of
thing.
So
in
a
normal
year
we're
already
looking
at
a
lot
of
properties
leading
up
to
the
reappraisal
itself.
C
We
did
a
a
voluntary
study
with
the
department
of
revenue
a
couple
of
years
ago,
where
we
did
a
random
selection
of
a
10
percent
of
our
overall
parcel
count,
and
we
we
had
staff
in
the
field,
verifying
these
properties,
checking
the
accuracy
of
these
properties
and
then
we'll
do
what
we
call
a
desktop
review.
We
have
a
lot
of
tools
as
far
as
aerial
imagery
we
have
pictometry,
which
is
an
oblique
aerial.
A
And
you
mentioned
the
copper
earlier
another
piece
of
another
tool:
the
citizens
can
use
online,
it's
not
available,
yet
you
said,
but
what
are
some
of
the
things
people
that
you
hope
that
they
can
do
by
using
this
copper.
C
So
to
me,
copper
will
be
one
of
the
one
of
the
best
tools
available
to
the
citizen,
so
you'll
be
able
to
put
in
your
your
parcel
number
or
your
address.
It
will
pull
up
your
property
and
it
will
automatically
start
searching
for
comparable
properties
in
your
area
that
have
sold
within
the
last
time
frame.
So
you
can,
you
can
actually
look
at
these
properties.
Compare
your
property
to
these
properties,
see
what
they've
sold
for
and
then,
if
you,
if
you
do
see
a
problem,
say
hey,
you
know.
C
You've
assessed
me
for
for
four
hundred
thousand
dollars
and
there's
comps
here
showing
that
you
know
I'm
probably
closer
in
the
380
range.
At
that
point,
you
can
select
the
comps
that
you
want
to
show
us
submit
that
with
your
appeal
form
and
then
one
of
our
staff
members
can
quickly
review
that
property.
For
you.
C
As
far
as
the
the
prc
part,
everything
is
pretty
much
here.
You
can
see
a
recent
permit
activity,
value
change
history
when
you
you
can
come
up
to
once.
The
appeal
process
is
open,
you'll,
be
able
to
click
on
the
appeal
tab,
and
that
will
take
you
to
the
page
where
you
can
actually
submit
an
online
appeal.
C
It
will
pull
up
the
gis
parcel
and
you
can
zoom
in
zoom
out
there's
several
layers.
You
can
turn
on
turn
off.
I
just
I
recommend
you
know
it's
pretty
self-explanatory,
get
in
start
playing
with
it
and
and
you'll
you'll
see
how
how
good
of
a
product
this
really
is
great.
A
Great
well
thanks
for
walking
us
through
it
jeff,
we'll
close
it
out.
Now
I
encourage
everyone
to
visit
buncombecounty.org
visit
the
tax
offices
page
and
check
out
the
c
prc
that
stands
for
property.
A
Property
record
card,
so
we
kind
of
went
into
the.
What
is
the
reappraisal
process,
but
now
we're
going
to
go
into
more
information
about
hows,
like
exemptions
that
exist,
so
your
property
tax
isn't
necessarily
what
your
property,
the
tax
that
you
owe
on
it.
There
are
exemptions
to
it.
So
can
can
you
talk
about
some
of
those
exemptions,
keith
sure.
B
Some
part,
probably
the
biggest
one
that
we
manage,
is
what
we
define
as
the
elderly
exemption
of
65
years
or
older,
with
an
income
not
exceeding
31
000
in
the
year
2020,
and
that
that
income
does
adjust
every
year
based
on
social
security,
increases
and
stuff
like
that.
But
there's.
B
There's:
disability
disabled,
so
if
you're
100,
disabled
and
still
meet
the
income
qualifications,
then
you
can
apply,
there's
veterans
and
there's
also,
if
you
own
a
farm,
there's
present
use
value
program,
so
those
are
probably
the
biggest
ones
that
we
deal
with,
which
will
help
people
reduce
what
the
tax
amount
is,
so
that
don't
do
anything
to
your
value
on
your
property.
But
it
does
help
reduce
how
much
taxes
that
you
will
pay.
B
B
If
you
think
you
qualify,
you
can
call
this
office,
we
will
also
consult
with
you.
Some
talk
to
you
about
what
it
is.
You're
questioning.
Do
you
qualify,
we
can
send
you
an
application
or
you
can
pick
up
an
application
here,
fill
out
the
application.
Send
it
to
us.
One
of
our
staff
will
review
it
and
then
you'll
be
notified
if
you
actually
did
qualify
for
that
or
not,
but
a
lot
of
people
kind
of
go
through
the
process.
B
B
For
example,
the
state
of
florida
has
an
exemption
called
a
homestead
exemption
which,
if
you're
a
resident
you
get,
but
that's
not
true
in
north
carolina,
so
that
that
word
homestead
is
the
interchangeable
sort
of
with
the
elderly
exemption.
A
Okay,
so
can,
if
can
you
retroactively,
get
an
exemption
like
if
you've
already
paid
your
taxes
and
realized?
Well,
I
was
exempt
last
year,
or
is
it
only
for
the
following
year.
B
No,
you
cannot,
it
is
not
retroactive,
so
the
filing
period
for
any
exemption
begins
on
january
1
of
each
year
through
january.
31,
except
for
the
elderly,
goes
through
june
1..
So
you
can
apply
during
that
period.
Now,
if
there
is
good
cause,
you
can
also
ask
for
a
late
application
for
an
elderly.
For
some
reason,
maybe
you
were
in
a
hospital
or
you
were
in
a
nursing
facility
and
you
were
not
able
to
apply
during
that
time.
A
So
you
mentioned
some
of
the
things
that
you
can
get
exemptions
for.
There's
age,
there's,
disability
and
you
said
it's
based
on
income.
What
are
some
of
the
other
factors
that
go
into
whether
or
not
somebody
gets
an
exemption.
B
Well
for
the
elderly
exemption,
there's
really
it
must
be
65
years
or
older.
You
cannot
have
an
income
exceeding
31
000
a
year
for
the
year,
2020.,
okay
veterans.
So
if
you
are
service
connected
100
disabled,
then
you
can
apply.
That's
possibly
a
45
000
exemption
off
of
your
assessment,
your
value,
so
there's
very
few
determining
things
there,
disability.
B
B
The
greater
of
okay,
so
if
you're
looking
for
an
elderly,
the
greater
of
25,
000
or
50
percent
of
the
value
is
what
we
take.
So
in
some
cases
it's
it's
a
great
exemption
for
those
folks
who
can
qualify
and
we
encourage
you
if
you
think
you
qualify
to
please
let
us
know,
file
the
application
or
call
here
and
discuss
it
with
us
and
if
you
qualify,
then
we
want
to
get
you
approved
for
that
program.
A
B
That
is
not
necessarily
true.
Okay,
it
does
not
give
you
a
100
exemption.
Okay,
it
is
the
greater
of
25
000
in
value
or
50
percent
of
the
value.
Whichever
is
greater,
that's
what
you
will
get,
so
you
will
in
most
cases,
unless
you
have,
unless
you're
living
in
a
property
that
is
valued
less
than
25
000,
then
you
will
have
a
property
tax
bill.
D
A
B
So
it's
just
a
matter
of
what
the
appreciation
in
the
market
is,
and
this
is
buyers
and
sellers
purely
buyers
and
sellers.
It
is
not
the
tax
office
determined
in
that
value,
whatever
buyers
and
sellers
are
changing
property
for
that's
what
the
market
value
is,
and
that
does
change
over
time.
B
B
Well
household
improvements
that
can
be
a
different
that
can
also
be
a
value
change.
So
if
you
own
a
house-
and
let's
say
you,
you
added
on
an
addition
or
you
added
on
in
a
garage
or
you
added
on
a
deck,
then
that
can
also
increase
your
value
so
and
that
will
be
on
a
yearly
basis.
Okay,
so
we
value,
we
re,
revalue
those
improvements
on
a
yearly
basis
rather
than
the
reappraisal.
B
A
So,
every
year
you,
when
you
pay
your
taxes
or
before
you
pay
your
taxes
you're,
given
the
option
to
for
a
revaluation
for
like
what
emit
adjustments.
Have
you
made
to
your
home?
What
like
what
are
some
of
the
things
that
that
add
to
this
revaluation
in
terms
of
improvements
that
they
need?
The
people
need
to
let
the
tax
office
know
about.
B
Yeah
so
and
most
owners
don't
know
that
it
is
your
responsibility
as
the
property
owner
to
notify
us
of
changes
to
your
property.
So
if
you've
made
a
change
as
far
as
an
addition,
a
deck
added,
a
garage
finished,
a
basement
added,
a
swimming
pool
added
a
utility
building.
Any
of
these
type
things
you
have
made
changes
to.
It
is
every
owner's
responsibility
to
notify
us
beginning
during
the
listing
period
january,
1
through
january
31.
B
To
make
sure
this
office
is
aware
of
that.
Now
we
also
review
all
the
building
permits
we
get
building
permits
from
the
county
and
the
municipalities
to
try
and
stay
on
top
of
what's
going
on
as
far
as
changes,
and
we
do
that
as
a
as
a
service
to
the
citizen.
Because
of
what
it
has
said,
a
lot
of
citizens
do
not
know
they
need
to
report
that
so
we
watch
the
building
permits.
So
if
you
took
out
a
building,
permit,
add
a
garage
onto
your
house.
A
And
speaking
of
penalties,
is
there
through
the
reappraisal
process
or
the
yearly
tax
process?
Is
there's
going
to
be
a
change
as
a
result
of
covid
in
terms
of
due
dates
for
anything
or
when
people
should
be
more
aware
of
things.
B
The
only
change
that
has
been
made
and
these
changes
would
have
to
come
from
be
legislative
changes,
buncombe
county
on
their
own,
don't
have
the
ability
to
change
the
law
of
the
state
of
north
carolina
and
that
would
be
the
tax
law,
so
those
changes
have
to
come
from
the
legislative
side.
B
No,
I
would
not
foresee
that
to
happen.
A
Okay,
so
one
of
the
questions
that
we
got
in
was
when
do
we
anticipate
this
copper
tool?
I'm
going
back
a
few
steps.
When
do
we
anticipate
this
going
live.
B
We
hope
I
would
to
have
that
live
within
the
next
couple
of
months,
actually-
probably
maybe
within
the
next
30
days,
and
that
way
it
gives
citizens
a
little
bit
of
time
that
you
can
get
in
there.
Look
at
it,
learn
how
to
use
it
and
be
prepared.
Then,
when
you
get
ready
to
appeal
your
value
that
you
know
how
to
use
it,
so
we
will.
We
will
get
that
out
as
soon
as
we
have
it
live.
A
I'm
I'm
promoting
a
lot
of
online
tool
usage
as
a
result
of
code,
because
we're
trying
to
socially
is
the
appraisal
office
open
for
walk-ins.
Or
do
you
have
meetings
through
online
means
through
zoom,
for
example,
that
you
can
set
up
with
people
yeah.
B
Where
we
are
available
to
do
what
is
convenient
for
the
citizen,
so
if
that
citizen
does
not
have
the
ability
to
to
get
on
electronically
or
do
a
virtual
meeting
with
us,
then
we
welcome
you
to
our
office.
We
would
rather
schedule
an
appointment
with
you,
but
you
are
welcome
to
walk
in
you
walk
in.
B
We
will
find
we
will
help
you,
but
it
will,
if
you
can
make
in
the
appointment
or
if
you
have
the
ability
to
do
a
zoom
meeting
or
do
it
virtually,
then
we
can
schedule
that
with
you
much
easier,
but
we
we
are
available
even
if
it's
just
a
phone
call,
if
you
want
to
make
a
phone
call
and
discuss
it
with
us
in
that
way,
then
we're
happy
to
do
that
too.
B
A
Great
yeah
and
we're
also
going
to
be
creating
tools
for
the
community,
we're
going
to
be
creating
some
videos
in
my
department,
which
is
not
taxed,
to
help
people
through
the
prc
and
when
the
copper
becomes
available
as
a
walk-in,
a
walk-through
video
right.
There
are
plenty
of
resources
online
at
the
tax
office.
We.
B
Then,
once
you
see
that
tutorial
and
if
there's
one
out
there
that
we
have
not
done
that
citizens
are
struggling
with
to
know
how
to
do,
then
I
would
encourage
some
feedback
from
the
citizens
to.
Let
me
know
that,
and
we
will
get
that
out
there
and
whatever
and
whichever
it
is
to
help
you
through
this
process.
A
Great,
so
those
were
all
of
the
questions
we
had
prepared
so
now
we're
going
to
get
into
some
of
the
questions
that
we've
been
getting
from
people
watching
on
facebook
and
people
in
the
zoom
meeting
right.
Some
of
them
have
already
been
addressed,
but
one
of
them
is
historically
in
my
experience,
properties
have
sold
for
more
than
the
tax
appraisal
value
as
the
tax
office
always
assessed
tax
property
on
market
value.
We
kind
of
touched
on
that
earlier,
but
is
there
more
information
you
could
give
on
that.
B
So
we
as
we
get
further
away
from
the
last
reappraisal
date,
then
you
start
seeing
the
appreciation
and
value
and
those
values
do
come
to
start
being
further
and
further
apart,
even
during
the
reappraisal
year,
there's
some
things
that
we
don't
know
about
property.
Now,
again,
I
say
remember:
I
said
earlier:
we
do
mass
appraisals,
so
we
value
groups
of
property.
B
We
will
be
probably
under
some
market
values
on
them.
What
you
think
market
value
may
be,
or
a
little
under
what
that
sales
price
may
have
been
and
then
we'll
even
be
a
little,
maybe
over
some
of
the
sales
process
it
may
have
been,
but
that's
mass
appraisal
and
that's
what
we
do.
But
let
me
go
back
to
what
I
first
said.
Remember
if
you're
looking
at
the
value
today,
what
you
paid
for
a
property
and
what
the
assessment
is
today,
you
got
to
remember
that
you
paid
market
value
today
the
assessment
is
market
value.
A
B
Yeah,
so
most
people
thanks
for
bringing
that
up,
because
reappraisal
is
really
about
equity
and
about
uniformity
and
about
fairness
when,
when
our
legislators
wrote
this
tax
law
many
many
years
ago,
it
was
about
uniformity
and
reappraisal
is
in
there
in
order
to
make
sure
that
no
no
property
owner
pays
more
than
their
fair
share.
So,
as
we
just
said,
as
we
go
further
along
in
the
reappraisal
in
between
reappraisals,
then
values
start
getting
out
of
line
and
they're
no
longer
in
balance,
so
one
neighborhood
maybe
have
more
appreciation
than
the
other
neighborhood.
B
So
that
means
that
someone
may
be
paying
more
property
tax
based
on
your
value
than
someone
else.
So
that's
that's
what
reappraisal
brings
back
to
it
is
the
uniformity
and
the
equity
for
all
property
owners
in
in
in
paying
your
taxes.
So
it's
really
a
good
process,
and
I
know
I
say
that
and
people
say
well,
you
know.
How
is
that?
But
I'm
saying
that,
because
what
reappraisal
does
for
every
property
owner
is
assures
you
as
the
property
owner
that
you
are
only
paying
your
fair
share
compared
to
other
people
across
the
county.
A
B
Well
and
a
lot
of
people
don't
also
I'll
remind
people.
This
is
that
during
a
reappraisal
year,
just
because
your
value
went
up
does
not
mean
your
taxes
will
go
up.
Okay,
there's
a
lot
of
people
during
reappraisal
that
their
value
may
go
down.
Some
will
go
up,
so
we
also
do
that
equalization
in
value
and
then
it's
up
to
it's
it's
up
to
your
board
of
commissioners
to
set
the
tax
rate
on
whatever
that
might
be.
B
So
don't
let
reappraisal
scare,
you,
okay,
because
reappraisal
is
not
meant
to
be
to
generate
more
tax.
It's
meant
to
make
values
uniform
across
the
county
to
be
fair
with
everybody.
So,
but
I
know
that
when
most
people
hear
about
reappraisal,
the
first
thing
they
think
about
is:
oh
no,
my
taxes
are
going
to
go
up.
That's
not
always
true!
There's
a
lot
of
situations
where
your
taxes
could
even
come
down.
B
Even
if
your
values
goes
up
because
it's
dependent
upon
what
happens
with
the
rate,
so
if
the
values
go
up
and
the
commissioners
keep
the
rates
low
and
they
do,
they
don't
need
more
revenue
for
the
budget.
Then
there's
a
good
there's,
a
good
chance
in
which
your
tax
bill
would
not
go
up.
So
I
caution
you
that
again,
that
don't
let
reappraisal
scare
you
as
far
as
I'm
gonna
have
to
pay
more,
because
that
is
not
always
true
that
you
will
have
to
pay
more.
A
B
Yes,
as
of
this
moment,
reappraisal
is
happening.
Any
every
property
owner
in
this
county
come
around.
The
first
of
february
of
2021
should
receive
a
notice
in
the
mail
telling
you
what
your
new
value
will
be
for
the
year
2021.
B
Yes
in
2019
the
commissioners
approved
for
the
reappraisal
of
2021.,
so
we
have
been
working
on
that
we
are
going
through
the
process
now
of
approving
the
schedule
of
values,
which
is
related
to
also
reappraisal
and
we'll
be
done
with
that
here
within
the
next
30
days
and
then
we'll
move
on.
So
at
this
point
I
see
no
reason
why
that
the
reappraisal
would
not
happen.
A
B
Not
if
you
have
a
question
about
acquiring
a
permit
or
what
you
need
to
do
to
get
a
permit.
That's
not
really
me
you
if
you're
asking
about
how
does
a
permit
affect
your
value?
Maybe
that
is.
But
if
you
know
if
the
person
would
like
to
clarify
what
the
question
is.
A
B
Anybody
that
makes
an
improvement
on
your
home
needs
to
acquire
a
permit
through
your
county
office
building
office
or
your
municipality.
That's
issuing
the
permits.
D
A
So
I
haven't
gotten
any
more
questions
and
I'm
trying
to
think
if
there's
anything
I
haven't
asked
yet
about
the
reappraisal
process,
I
will
say:
there's
a
handy-dandy
book
called
the
citizen
reappraisal
guide
that
you
can
either
download
online
or
you
can
pick
up
at
county
offices
that
have
pretty
much
all
the
information
we're
saying
and
a
lot
more
information
about
the
history
of
them.
What
fair
market
value
means
property,
tax,
key
points
incorporated
areas
and
districting
districting,
so
I
highly
recommend
everyone
checking
that
out.
B
Yeah
and
max
I'll
point
out
to
us
that
a
version
of
that
guide
you
have
there
if
you
currently
get
a
tax
bill,
the
the
one
that
you
will
get
in
the
mail
here
in
the
next
few
weeks
for
this
year's
property
tax
should
have
an
insert
in
it
like
that
guide.
A
One
question
that
I
did
get
that
I
forgot
to
mention
was:
is
there
a
cap
by
which
the
value
increases
through
a
reappraisal?
No.
A
B
Yeah
well
in
the
appraisal,
everything
affects
value,
okay,
where
it's
positive
or
negative,
and
the
appraisers
are
trained
and
that's
part
of
the
appraisal
process
is
to
consider
all
influences
whatever
it
might
be.
So
if
that's
dirt
road
or
paved
road
or
no
road
or
whichever
it
may
be,
we
do
consider
those
to
be
an
influence
on
value
and
again
either
positive
or
negative.
A
Okay,
okay,
so
I'll
get
into
the
closing
thoughts
and
closing
announcements.
If
there's
anything
else,
someone
asked
if
there's
a
breakdown
as
to
where
the
tax
money
is
spent,
but
that's
not
you
guys,
that
is
another
department.
That's
our
finance
office.
That's.
B
A
Of
great
dashboards
for
the
community
to
use
you'll
see
a
breakdown
of
everything
there
yeah.
So
what
I'll
do
is
I'll
just
make
a
few
announcements
and
thank
you
so
much
keith
and
jeff
for
joining
us
today.
We're
ending
a
little
bit
early
but
no
need
to
go
over.
We
don't
need
to.
A
So,
aside
from
the
reappraisal
guide
that
I
mentioned,
I'm
gonna
make
a
quick
announcement
about
the
tax
collection
office.
That
is
not
the
reappraisal
office.
They
closed
in
march
to
significantly
renovate
their
lobby
area
and
now
they're
open,
again
and
they're
able
to
process
tax
payments
face
to
face
for
allowing
more
coveted,
19
social
distancing.
So
you
can
go
to
the
tax
office
again
and
if
people
want
to
visit
the
appraisals
office,
they
pretty
much
go
into
the
collections
office.
A
Okay
and
the
last
one
is
again
tune
in
we're
going
to
be
doing
this
again
on
august
24th.
So
if
you
watch
this
one
and
you
have
questions
that
we
didn't
discuss,
you
can
either
submit
them
to
realestate.questions.
Is
it
questions
or
questions.
