Every privately-owned parcel of land, as well as certain property that is not real estate, must be identified and assessed with a value for tax purposes. This is the job of the Office of the Assessor. The elected head of this department is Assessor Dale Flippin.

The Assessor site includes information on many tax exemption programs for seniors, the disabled, veterans, builders, homeowners and others. Save money every year by checking this section!

The County has an appeal procedure for anyone who feels their property has not been assessed fairly. The Board of Supervisors sits as the Assessment Appeals Board.

The Assessor's Office does not collect taxes. For information on tax collection, visit the County Treasurer-Tax Collector Website.
