The Hanover County Board of Supervisors has extended the informal assessment review period until February 1, 2023.

Previously, the Assessor’s Office had been available to discuss individual property assessments with the property owner through January 20. Richard Paul, Hanover’s Chief Assessor, said that his office had handled around 300 calls about assessments, most coming in the days after this year’s notices were mailed.

However, the strong real estate market in Hanover has led to increases in value for homes throughout the County this year. Members of the Board of Supervisors thought that providing additional time for citizens to discuss their assessments would be appropriate. The Board unanimously extended the informal review period through February 1.

Any resident concerned about the assessed value given to their property is invited to call the Assessor’s Office at 804-365-6029.
