County Reappraisal Delays Spark Budget Debate
County officials remain uncertain about completing the real property reappraisal by the Board of Equalization deadline. Commissioners Shaffer and Sapp cite funding and staffing constraints, while Sevier says he needs more personnel and time. Prosecutor Waters notes reappraisal is the assessor’s duty and may proceed without broad advertising. Inflation and the Homestead Exemption cost add pressure as discussions turn to state funding.
