The Beaufort County Government held a special meeting on October 23, 2024, to discuss the Schedule of Values, a crucial component of the property revaluation process. The meeting began with the approval of the agenda, which focused on the public hearing regarding this schedule.

During the public hearing, officials emphasized the importance of the Schedule of Values as a guide for determining property valuations. Lloyd, a key speaker at the meeting, noted that the schedule is based on extensive data collected over the past two years by Vincent Evaluations, a firm specializing in property assessments. Ryan Vincent, the owner of the company, and his team were present to provide insights into the data and methodologies used in the revaluation process.

Despite the significance of the topic, the hearing saw no public participation, indicating a potential disconnect between the government discussions and community engagement. The officials opted for a brief overview rather than a detailed presentation, suggesting a desire to streamline the process while still informing the public about the valuation methods.

This meeting highlights the ongoing efforts of Beaufort County to ensure transparency in property assessments, which directly affect local residents through property taxes and community funding. As the revaluation process continues, the government aims to keep the community informed and involved in discussions that impact their financial responsibilities and local services.
