The Middlesex County Board of Supervisors (MCBS) “request for proposal” (RFP) to hire a reassessment firm to reassess property in Middlesex brought concerns from the former chairman of the Middlesex County Economic Development Authority, Gordon White. The Deltaville resident cautioned the board to “pick the right firm to do the job.”
Middlesex County is partnering with Mathews and King & Queen (K&Q) counties to hire a reassessment firm to reassess the real estate in the three counties. The last reassessment was done four years ago in 2021. Essex, Middlesex, Mathews and K&Q, partnered for that one, but Essex has opted out.
At the MCBS board meeting on Tuesday, June 3, White said, “I am aware that commercial assessors in the past have claimed that they used comparable sales figures (to reassess county properties), but from my research in Middlesex reassessments over many years, they have failed to demonstrate that they actually did so.
