Please Note:

Florida has a very broad Public Records Law. Most written communications to or from State and Local Officials regarding State or Local business are public records available to the public and media upon request. Your email communications may therefore be subject to public disclosure.

The Bay County Board of County Commissioners seeks applicants for appointment to the Bay County Value Adjustment Board (VAB). The VAB hears petitions from citizens who disagree with the assessed value placed on their property.

The appointee must be a citizen of Bay County who owns homestead property here. The member cannot be an employee of any taxing authority and cannot represent property owners in any administrative or judicial review of property taxes.

Please send a letter of interest and proof of homestead ownership to 840 W. 11th St., Panama City, FL 32401 by 4 p.m. Feb. 2.
