Why was an outside firm hired to perform the reassessment?
The general reassessment process is very labor and time intensive. The entire process takes between 12 and 18 months to perform and requires that an assessor physically visit and assess every parcel in the County. To perform this task internally would require additional full-time staff and resources. An outside firm that specializes in such work can perform the reassessment at a greatly reduced cost to the County.
