SB 642 West Virginia Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Clarifying requirements before assessor can be nominated for property valuation

SB 642 clarifies the process for nominating county assessors to serve on West Virginia's Property Valuation Training and Procedures Commission. It requires the West Virginia Assessors Association to nominate only assessors who meet approved monitoring requirements, with preference given to those holding recognized certifications. The bill also mandates that nominations include no more than two assessors from the same political party and ensures no more than seven commission members belong to one party. This directly affects county assessors seeking commission appointments and aims to standardize nomination criteria.
