Fair

time.
11.
What is the responsibility of the Assessor?
The
Assessor lists and values all property in the County. The property
tax system is designed to distribute taxes according to the value of
property. The Assessor must value property as accurately and fairly
as the law allows. This equalization of property values ensures that
everyone pays his or her fair share of taxes.
|
The
values determined by the Assessor are assessments...they are not
taxes. THE ASSESSOR DOES NOT SET TAXES. The Assessor is
really a County Appraiser. Your Assessor supervises a staff of
well-trained professionals who estimate the value of homes, stores, farms,
and any other taxable property in Cabell County. As in any human
endeavor, a margin of error may exist. We are continually making
great strides to reduce these errors, but if you have any questions
about your assessment, please bring it to our attention. We work
for you!
