As voters finish early voting in Jacksonville and prepare for Election Day next Tuesday, three candidates are vying for residents’ vote for Duval County property appraiser.
News4JAX sat down with the candidates to learn about what they believe are their biggest challenges.“The local property appraiser’s office hasn’t updated their technology in the last 20 years or so and there is no better-qualified person to lead those technology upgrades than an electrical engineer like myself,” Fisher said.
“Just like anything else, that has a lifecycle, and that lifecycle is probably going to be coming to an end very soon. So, we’re going to have to reassess that and find the best system that’s going to work for the Duval County property appraiser’s office and put it into effect,” Morgan said. “We’re dealing with some 385,000 commercial and residential properties in Duval County, and it impacts a lot,” Morgan said. “It impacts our budget, like 52% of the Duval County budget comes from our ad valorem taxes, property taxes, and those are the same taxes that take care of everything we have to do in the city of Jacksonville.”
