Town of Pawlet, Vermont

Seeks Town Assessor

 

The Town of Pawlet is seeking proposals for contract services for a qualified property assessor.  Interested individuals must have property assessment experience in a community with a commercial and business presence, preferably in Vermont.  Firms offering proposals must be approved under Rule 86-P65 of the Vermont Department of Property Valuation and Review.

 

Generally, duties will include preparing the annual grand list, updating assessments, hearing appeals, preparing information for the Board of Civil Authority, meeting with citizens, overseeing property re-appraisals as they are periodically required, all other related duties enumerated in Vermont Statutes (particularly Title 32).  The Town completed a reappraisal in 2016.  A more detailed RFP and Scope of Services is available at the Town Office.

 

The Town of Pawlet currently uses ProVal CAMA System and NEMRC software in its assessment process.  Although an office presence of at least one day per week is desirable, the Town is open to a variety of arrangements as long as all assessment requirements are met.  Position available immediately.  Pawlet is an equal opportunity employer.

 

Please provide a cover letter, resume and professional contract proposals to:  Town of Pawlet, PO Box 128, Pawlet, VT  05761  ATTN:  John Malcolm

 

Questions and/or requests for additional information should be directed to John Malcolm of the Pawlet Selectboard.

Valerie,

 

We here in Pomfret prepare electronic meeting packets - the agenda, plus back-up documents for items on the agenda. We post the documents on our town website (http://pomfretvt.us/index.php/boar/sel/meetings/).  We also use Microsoft Sharepoint for overall document storage.  We’re trying to instill the practice of avoiding printing things on paper for distribution or emailing attachments.

Hi,

 

The Bristol Selectboard is interested in exploring going to paperless meeting packets and investing in iPads.  I would be interested to know how many other boards have done this and how it’s worked out. 

·         Were towns able to get a deal on a bulk order of iPads? 

·         Do you use a specific software program (other than Adobe PDFs) to manage packet documents? 

·         Did it save time and money?

·         Any advice or lessons learned?

 

Thanks in advance.
