4 <br /> Collaboration with Community <br /> A local government project that directly affects each resident as much as a countywide <br /> revaluation should have built-in education and collaboration efforts. The tax office realizes that <br /> completing this project accurately and successfully requires assistance from the public. <br /> Moreover, collaboration is the cornerstone of Orange County Government, and the tax office <br /> embraces that approach as well. We feel it is not enough for the public to hear about the 2017 <br /> revaluation only at the very end of the process through a notice of new value in early 2017. <br /> Below are some proactive programs we are excited about. <br /> 1. 2017 Revaluation Partner—we have developed this program for those residents wishing <br /> to take the extra step and test what they have learned through our educational resources. <br /> A significant overhaul of the "Revaluation" section of our website was recently <br /> completed, and the revisions provide numerous educational offerings. The program <br /> begins with a review of the data on our website, moves on to our three (3) 2017 <br /> revaluation"learn and share"videos and culminates with an interactive and educational <br /> 10-question quiz. At the end of a successful quiz, the resident is awarded a Certificate of <br /> Achievement for successfully participating in our 2017 Revaluation Partner program. <br /> Earning this distinction shows a willingness to engage and collaborate with their local <br /> government, and it will prepare each participant to discuss the 2017 revaluation with <br /> other members of the community. As a 2017 Revaluation Partner, they also may be <br /> involved in pilot studies and asked for input over the course of the 2017 revaluation. <br /> Certificate (Of Aciltefrex ent <br /> Dwane Brinson <br /> got a score of <br /> 100/100 (100%) I <br /> on <br /> 2017 Revaluation Partner Quiz - Orange <br /> County, North Carolina <br /> Jan 4,2016 <br /> 2017 Revaluation Partner <br /> 'k6 <br /> 2. Summary Description Mailing—On December 31, 2015 we mailed 39,260 letters with <br /> the 2016 Property Tax Listing Forms. These letters provided residential real property <br /> owners with a snapshot of the data on record with the tax office. An important <br /> preliminary step in the appraisal process is ensuring accurate data. This effort is a way to <br /> show our desire for community collaboration and involvement in the 2017 revaluation. <br />
