Multiple community <br />presentations have been given, and even an online, on- demand free video was created to help the <br />public understand the process of revaluation. In addition to the introductory presentation and <br />video, we plan to provide another presentation and video on two additional phases: the Schedules <br />of Values and the appeal process. <br />We have had great turnouts and positive feedback from our first presentation and video. <br />However, we wish to take this one step further and create a program that encourages citizens and <br />local business professionals to attend our presentations and learn about revaluation, each phase. <br />Our proposed certification program is called Citizen 2013 Revaluation Officer. It would involve <br />citizens attending or watching online each of our presentations, then taking and passing a short <br />quiz afterwards. Upon successful completion of all three quizzes, the citizen would be <br />"certified" by the tax office as a Citizen 2013 Revaluation Officer. <br />This is a voluntary citizen program that has multiple benefits: <br />1. An additional credential for local businesses, real estate professionals, etc. <br />2. Opportunity for citizen involvement in county government <br />3. Creates more educated revaluation officers in the field for the tax office through P3s <br />4. Improves quality of revaluation <br />OFFICE OF THE TAX ADMINISTRATOR <br />P O Box 1968 • 106 Hillcrest Drive • Sanford NC 2733 1 -1 968 <br />Tel 919 - 718 -4661 9 Fax 919 -718 -4633 <br />
