Statement
I am a State Certified Residential Appraiser with Supervisor accreditation. Born and raised in the Tri Cities, for over 20 years, I have owned an appraisal practice appraising real estate in Franklin, Benton, Yakima, and Walla Walla Counties.
The decision to run for County Assessor did not come lightly. After assisting many residents with Board of Equalization hearings and engaging in conversations with local farmers, residents, Realtors, and State and local elected officials, I realized that if the issues with property assessments are to be resolved, it requires someone with real-world experience in real estate appraisal. I am uniquely qualified to address the challenges facing the Franklin County Assessor’s office.
My focus will be to ensure that every property owner only pays their fair share of taxes and that assessments are fair, equitable, consistent, and transparent. I will achieve this through improved appraisal practice training, strict adherence to professional appraisal standards, and open communication with property owners.
My goal is to restore confidence in the Assessor's office. I am running to lead with experience you can measure and accuracy you can trust. Thank you for your vote. To learn more, please visit www.ChrisForAssessor.com.
