About this Opportunity
Brunswick County is currently accepting applications for a Real Estate Appraiser to join our Tax Department. The Real Estate Appraiser performs technical work in appraising land, residential buildings, and building improvements for tax assessment purposes. Work involves contacting property owners, sketching layouts of structures, and determining the property size, type of construction, grade of materials, quality of workmanship, and other related appraisal data needed to arrive at the taxable value. The Real Estate Appraiser will also be responsible for computing and pricing lot sizes, construction areas, subdivisions, and land splits.


Work requires the Real Estate Appraiser to take initiative and display independent judgment to ensure proper application of established policies and procedures to individual appraisal cases. If you are a customer focused individual with excellent communication, listening, and interpersonal skills, and are able to show tact, courtesy, and firmness in frequent contact with property owners and the public, we'd love to talk to you! The Real Estate Appraiser reports directly to a Chief Appraiser.
