The other day I spent time at the Henry County Assessor’s Office gaining insight into what the County Commissioners could do to better support their office and help make the public more aware of what they do.
I learned that last year there were 1,710 property transfers in Henry County, meaning roughly 10% of property ownership changed hands. The Assessor’s Office is held to strict state guidelines, including reassessing every property every two years.
One thing many people may not realize is that the Assessor’s Office also handles the mapping for the county GIS system. We discussed several ideas, including regular work sessions with the commissioners and even bringing back live phone operators at the courthouse like they once had.
As an independent candidate, these are the conversations that matter to me — listening, learning, and working for the people, not politics. It was truly a pleasure sitting down not only with Scott Largent, but also with the support staff, to hear their concerns, answer questions, and better understand the important work they do every day for Henry County.
