MY FAMILY GETS ITWe currently own and are developing residential and commercial property in Yakima. We know that property tax can be a burdensome - and good people (American citizens!) can lose their land, possibly even their freedom, if they don’t pay. However, our state law says it must exist and be enforced. As the elected assessor, I will be a questioner and, if possible, a revolutionary. You can trust me to put the taxpayer first above government interests.
CUSTOMER FOCUSIn the assessor's office, as Public Servants, our focus will be customer service. You've got questions? We've got answers. Through better education and easily available data the public will understand HOW Yakima County property values are calculated when I’m in office. We will look you in the eye and treat you like a real person. You can come to us with any question.
DATA ON DISPLAYWe will utilize my assessyakima.com domain for the county assessor's office and will turn it into a Data-Depot, complete with helpful information - for your own parcel - at your fingertips:
- Explanation for formulas used
- Your parcel's tax coefficient
- Comps used for valuation
- Localized market data
- Video webinars
- Live chat
We will have data targeted towards home owners and a separate dashboard for those who work in the real estate and loan industries. Easy information and easy navigation.
I’m not going to the government to make government friends, nor to play games. I'm here to push boundaries and...
treat taxpayers like kings.
