MY FAMILY GETS ITWe currently own and are developing residential and commercial property in Yakima. We know that property tax can be a dark burden on us. Good people (American citizens!) can lose their land and possibly their freedom if they don’t pay. However, sadly, our state law says it must exist and be enforced. As the assessor, I will be a questioner, a thinker, and, if possible, a revolutionary. You can trust me to put the taxpayer first above government interests.CUSTOMER FOCUSAs Public Servants our focus will be customer service in the assessor's office. You've got questions? We've got answers. Through better education and 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 DISPLAYI will donate my assessyakima.com domain to the county 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 chatI’m not going to the government to make government friends. I’m NOT here to play games, but to push boundaries and treat taxpayers like kings.
