of her campaign. Banks has spent the past fourteen years serving
as deputy clerk in the Assessor’s office. She has received ongoing
training from the West Virginia State Tax Department and has experience
with all functions in the local Assessor’s office. “As a lifelong
resident of Jefferson County, I fully understand the concern over
recent increases in real estate tax because of assessments being based
on sales,” said Banks. “However, as the real estate market continues
to soften, our assessments will decline over time as they have in
several areas for the 2008 tax year.” Banks will make it a priority
to further the working relationship with other county offices along
with continuing to modernize the assessor’s office to be more accommodating
to the public.
