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!
