Roanoke County real estate assessment values are wrong | WSLS 10

"If it says this the sales price it should be the actual sales price,? says Roanoke County homeowner Susan Edwards.

Edwards is one of many wondering if they have paid too much in real estate taxes.

"I am disappointed because I think public as whole expects integrity in what our public records share to the public. If that information is mis-labeled than that should be reflected on the public domain,? says Edwards.

Susan Simmons, chairman of the board of equalization echoes a need for change.

"They need to have the numbers there correct as other localities do,? says Simmons.

The Board of Supervisors says they know the numbers are wrong, and need to be corrected. One idea involves a software upgrade similar to what other localities use. Nothing definite until the taxation department comes back with its findings in two weeks.

"I believe if we need to correct them in large numbers we will do it. I am going to stand in there and fight to the end because what is right is right wrong is wrong, but when you see glaring information spread over the county of 96,000 people, if you don't wake up and see something is smoking in the kitchen than something is wrong,? says Church.

Supervisor Butch Church says at this point, they do not know how many people overpaid in taxes. The hope is to get that information from the taxation department.
