The County Assessor
is a constitutionally elected official responsible for discovery,
valuation and enrollment of all locally assessable property within
Kings County.
The Kings County
Assessor's Office is committed to a philosophy of service and accountability
to the public, whose interest is best served through the sound administration
of the property tax laws. We believe this can be most effectively
accomplished through programs which enable people to comply with the
laws voluntarily.
Consistent with
this philosophy we will:
- Be diligent
in identifying ways to improve and simplify the process for understanding
property tax assessments
- Be persistent
in promoting and encouraging voluntary compliance with the property
tax law
- Be fair in
our treatment of all property owners and consistent in our administration
of the law
- Be firm in
adhering to our fundamental principles and values, yet flexible
in our methods for serving the public and accomplishing our goals.
In keeping with
our most significant, commonly-held principles and values:
- We provide
high quality work products and services based on our commitment
to public service, excellence, and accountability.
- We adhere
to the highest ethical and professional standards of conduct.
- We administer
the laws equitably, impartially, efficiently, and accurately.
- We observe
and protect the confidentiality rights of the public and our employees.
- We treat
every individual, the public, and other private and government
agencies with courtesy, respect, dignity, and concern.
- We value
the individual and teamwork, and the contribution that each makes
to our office and the public.
- We accept
responsibility for the public's trust and work together with other
departments and agencies in a cooperative, mutually supportive
environment with honest and open communications
