The Association of West Virginia Assessors President, Joseph “Rocky” Romano, Harrison County Assessor, has released a statement regarding the 2022 tax year bills. “COVID-19 increased new and used car values tremendously in 2021. To offer some relief to the taxpayers, Assessors met with Tax Commissioner Matthew Irby asking to consider using July 1, 2020 JD Power values to generate the 2022 tax bills. Commissioner Irby then went to Governor Justice for approval,” said Romano. “The personal property bill you will receive this July may be comparable to what you paid last year in 2021 versus the huge increase the Assessors were anticipating. Assessors, Commissioner Irby, and the governor’s office should be commended for working together for the good of West Virginia citizens.” Romano stated.
