This series of posts will be made weekly on Chapelboro to help inform our community about local government meetings. All meeting days, locations and times may be subject to change. Check town, county, and school district websites for additional information.
With Election Day on Tuesday, it’s a light week for local government: many elected boards have the week off, and the ones that do meet mostly have lighter agendas. Orange County Commissioners will make one big official decision, though: they’re slated to appoint a new county tax administrator, following last year’s controversial property revaluation process that saw many homeowners complaining that the county’s tax burden got unfairly shifted from businesses to residents.
Here’s a rundown of local government meetings this week in Durham, Orange, and Chatham Counties.
Orange County
Orange County Commissioners meet Thursday, November 5, at 7 p.m. in the Whitted Building. On this week’s agenda: commissioners will officially appoint a new county tax administrator and extend the mission of the county’s Tax Assessment Work Group, as officials continue working to enact reforms after last year’s controversial property revaluation.
