Strong, Accountable Leadership

Doug believes the Assessor’s Office works best when it’s supported by strong leadership, clear direction, and a deep understanding of its responsibilities. With more than two decades of experience in the office, he’s seen firsthand how important it is to maintain a stable, well-trained team and an administration that empowers staff to focus on serving the public.

Modernized Technology & Office Operations

Doug believes that modern technology is crucial for accurate valuations and overall office efficiency. With a background in technology and implementation, he knows that real modernization requires execution. He has brought in new software to replace an aging system and currently leads the implementation. This software will allow for more accurate data capture, implement stronger valuation models, and increase transparency in the valuation process, resulting in more accurate and reliable values. By modernizing the office, he will ensure the Assessor’s Office works smarter, serves the public more effectively, and remains prepared for the future.

Homestead Exemptions & Senior Support

The Assessor’s Office plays an important role in helping seniors access homestead exemptions they have earned. Doug is committed to making the process clear, respectful, and easy to navigate, recognizing that many seniors rely on these programs for financial stability. By improving outreach, simplifying communication, and ensuring knowledgeable assistance is always available, he will prioritize a positive experience for senior residents and help them receive the benefits they deserve with confidence.
