The STC is in the process of determining rule changes for the valuation of ag land. I am here to see that the citizens of Owyhee County are represented.

How do you balance statutory responsibility with trying to be fair to property owners? Gruenwald: State statute must be followed. It is the law. Some of these statutes need revamping. Just because it is a law does not make it right. However, I cannot pick which laws I want to follow and ignore the rest. Ferdinand: It is a balancing act for sure, but there is some room within the statute. The key is the value. Property owners allowing county appraisers on their property for accurate appraisals also helps keep the information current and correct.

What changes, if any, would you make to way the assessor’s offi ce is run? Ferdinand: I plan to take a good look at the employees and their given tasks, meet with each employee and make sure everyone is a good fi t for the job duties they have and make adjustments according to each person’s strong suit. Gruenwald: I see no immediate changes in the future. If there is a need for a change, it will be analyzed. I will not rush into any changes without making sure it is to the benefi t of Owyhee County citizens.

Please address any other issues. Ferdinand: Owyhee County is God’s country! There is no better place to live, work, and play. Raising my kids here, teaching them a great work ethic, and that your word is very important accounts for much of my spare time. Being the next Owyhee County assessor gives me the opportunity to give back to this great county full-time. Committing myself to represent the citizens of Owyhee County in the way each one deserves is a goal I am looking forward to fulfi lling.
