10. 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!
