The Butts County Board of Assessors is on the hunt for a new team member, and it could be you—if you have the knack for appraising and a penchant for customer service. According to a recent announcement on the county's official website, they are looking to fill either an Appraiser I or Appraiser II position, with the final designation depending on the prospective candidate's credentials.
This role is not for the faint at numbers or the enemy of detail. The chosen individual will join a team responsible for sizing up residential properties, a task that feeds into the annual real property digest. Strong customer service skills are a must, as this job involves not just crunching numbers, but interacting with property owners, collecting crucial appraisal data, and even snapping and uploading property pics. Field reviews and data collection for real property appeals also sit heavy on the to-do list.
Don't be fooled by "minimum qualifications"—they demand quite the hybrid of education and experience. Besides a high school diploma, a certain echelon of specialized training is expected, as is a year or two in a similar position, along with a wave-through from a criminal background check and drug screening. Oh, and let's not forget the need for a State of Georgia driver's license, and Appraiser certifications from the grand State of Georgia Department of Revenue.
The salary? That remains a conversation starter, as it will pivot on how much you've conquered in your previous roles. Interested candidates, those with the required mettle and certificates, are encouraged to apply online. As per the county's website, an online job application link is available for those ready to measure their worth on the team—file it under "next steps" if you believe the property appraisal world is where your professional heart lies.
