Rob Mitchell and the Rutherford County Assessor’s office recognized with the 2019 Three Star Certification

Rutherford County Assessor of Property, Rob Mitchell, was presented the 2019 Three Star Certification before the Tennessee Association of Assessing Officers at the fall regional seminars last week. The certificate was presented on behalf of the Tennessee Association of Assessing Officers by the executive director, Will Denami.

“The Three Star Certification is a professional standard of operations recognized by the Tennessee Association of Assessing Officers. The certification represents an operational analysis for compliance in the numerous standards monitored by the division of property assessments, as well as, a demonstrated commitment to continuing education. Rob Mitchell’s innovative approaches and continual refinements keep the Rutherford County office of the Assessor on the cutting edge,” said Will Denami.

“We are fortunate to have such a strong and dedicated team in the Rutherford County Assessor’s office. We recognize our role is to serve the public fairly and equitably and that requires constant improvement to do it right. I am personally humbled to serve as Assessor of Property and I am committed to doing the absolute best job I can for the taxpayers in Rutherford County,” said Rob Mitchell.

“I am very proud of Mitchell and his team,” said Mayor Bill Ketron. “Their dedication to continued professional development is a nod to their desire to provide outstanding service to our citizens.”

The Three Star Certification is an annual certification process where each office of the Assessor of Property is independently reviewed for technical compliance by the Comptroller’s division of property assessments. Each office must successfully complete the monitoring process and complete the necessary continuing education requirements for the Assessor of Property. Once the standards are met, the Assessor of Property submits application to the Tennessee Association of Assessing Officers for verification.

The Tennessee Association of Assessing Officers (TNAAO) is a professional organization composed of the elected officials serving as Assessors of Property in Tennessee. The TNAAO’s purpose is to work on behalf of the people of our great state to ensure fairness and uniformity in statutes regarding the assessment of property, as well as, to promote excellence through best practices and professionalism amongst those charged with this vital task.
