Property assessment and the PVA office

Daviess County's Property Valuation Administrator race is contested in 2026, with Democrat William T. Pogue Jr. facing Republican Rachel Pence Foster in the November 3 general election. The PVA office assesses property values across the county, and those assessments form the basis on which local property tax bills are calculated, making the office central to what homeowners and businesses ultimately pay.

Positions on this issue  ·  liberal → conservative
  1. Assess property at full value, especially high-value and commercial property, so owners pay a fair share for services.
  2. Keep assessments accurate while protecting long-term and fixed-income homeowners from sharp increases in their bills.
  3. Focus strictly on accurate, consistent valuations and leave tax-rate decisions to the fiscal court and other bodies.
  4. Lean toward conservative valuations that hold down tax bills for homeowners and small businesses.
  5. Push assessments and property taxes as low as possible, even if that means reduced revenue for county services.
