What is the Assessor? A frequent question.

What is an Assessor?

Over the past few weeks as I have started my campaigning for the Shasta County Assessors position, I have been asked the question: “What is an Assessor?” So, here is the answer:

A County Assessor is the one all-county elected official that establishes the assessed value of all property in Shasta County by appraising that property under applicable State laws. This assessed value is then placed on a list with all other properties in Shasta County and this list is called the “Assessment Roll”.
