“I endorse Chris Hollingsworth as Franklin County Assessor. He has 20 years of appraisal experience and has been a business owner in Franklin County. He has a unique combination of appraisal background, management skills and peer group to help him navigate a complex job of being the county tax assessor. Chris has spent the last few years researching how the assessor’s office is supposed to work in regard to rules and regulations while still keeping his eye on the market and fair valuation of property. Chris has an excellent reputation of customer service and appraisal accuracy. For Chris the office won’t be about politics but about a fair market value for residents of Franklin County.”
