Do you have an interest in assessed property values and tax exemptions? The Clark County council is seeking applications for three positions on the Clark County Board of Equalization.
The board is a three-member panel of even-handed citizens who hear and decide property owners’ appeals of assessed property valuations and exemptions. Members are paid $100 a day to attend hearings and meetings. Board hearings are typically held in alternating weeks, Tuesday through Thursday mornings on the sixth floor of the Public Service Center, located at 1300 Franklin St. in Vancouver.
One position is for a regularly serving member. The two other positions are for alternates. Terms of all three positions begin July 15 and expire July 14, 2020.
To be eligible, applicants must be residents of Clark County. Applicants cannot hold any elective office or be an employee of any elected official. Persons who have been employed by the Clark County Assessor’s Office are ineligible to be a board member for two years after leaving their employment.
