A message from the Assessor
Spokane County Residents,
My first year as Spokane County Assessor was completed on January 3rd. Reductions in staffing during 2010 started the year out with 5 less employees, including two senior supervisors with over 30 years of service each. Even so, we were able to meet all of our deadlines with improved results. Advancement in the use of technology is a significant reason why this was possible. more...
