Rob Mitchell, the Rutherford County Assessor of Property, told WGNS...

"I am happy to announce that your Rutherford County Assessor's Office received a ZERO audit findings report yesterday from the Tennessee Department of Property Assessments. Our excellent staff of hardworking professionals is doing a tremendous job to maintain the highest standards and are succeeding! We are also achieving this with a cost per parcel four dollars UNDER the national average cost per parcel! It may not mean much to some folks but, it is saying your Assessor's office is achieving NEAR PERFECTION at a cost that is 1/6 less than the NATIONAL average!"

Mirtchell closed by stating, "We can only continue this by retaining and rewarding our hard working employees. This is a staff which we have reduced in size by 17% since 2011/2012. Please let your commissioner's know that you support our efforts. It is our honor to serve YOU!"
