County Commissioners

The five commissioners are the chief elected officials of the county. Their primary role involves the approval of the county budget. This process allows the commissioners to assess county operations for both efficiency and effectiveness.

The commissioners establish these priorities when they levy a county tax on the towns and cities which are part of Cumberland County. The commissioners also provide representation on numerous boards and committees in furthering the goal of interagency cooperation.

Cumberland County Seeking Volunteer Members for Board of Assessment Review
Cumberland County is seeking volunteer members for its Board of Assessment Review. The Board hears appeals by property tax payers of their local assessed valuations. It meets a half dozen times a year on Thursday evenings, generally in the late winter and early spring. The Board hears testimony on the value of real estate, weighs the relevant factors in light of legal standards, and renders a written decision. To visit the board's website, click here. No specific skills are required. The process is quite interesting and a public service to the benefit of property tax payers in the County. If you are interested in serving, please send resumes and questions to Liz Trice.
