What are the responsibilities and job description for the Property Data Technician position at Warren County, KY Property Valuation Administrator?
Who we are
The Warren County PVA's Office is responsible for assessing property in Warren County fairly and accurately. We are a small office that leans on technology to get more done with less. We take the limited resources we have seriously and work to be as efficient and effective as possible on behalf of the public we serve.
Who we're looking for
We're hiring a Property Data Technician to be our eyes and ears in the community. You'll spend much of your time out of the office visiting properties, gathering data, taking pictures, and talking with landlords, appraisers, real estate agents, and property owners. You'll then bring that information back to the office, review it, and enter it into our database.
The work covers existing homes, commercial buildings, and properties under construction. The best fit is someone who is friendly with the public, motivated by a real desire to serve our community, and interested in real estate and construction. Experience in either is a plus.
Character comes first. Trust is critical in this role. You'll often work on your own and represent the PVA's Office at people's homes and businesses, so we need someone we can count on to do the right thing every time.
What matters most to us
- Integrity: You do the right thing even when nobody's looking.
- Ownership: You don't need your hand held. You take initiative, see things through, and own your mistakes.
- High agency: You're comfortable figuring things out, making good decisions, and finding better ways to work.
- Service: We serve the public, and you treat every person you meet as a neighbor, with courtesy and respect.
- Growth: You want to keep learning about real estate and property valuation.
What you'll do
- Visit residential, commercial, and under-construction properties across Warren County, working from building permits and assignment lists
- Measure improvements, sketch structures, and collect property characteristic data
- Photograph properties for our records
- Talk with property owners, landlords, appraisers, and real estate agents to gather and verify information
- Review what you've collected in the office and enter it accurately into our database
- Notice when something doesn't look right and speak up
- Other duties as assigned
What helps
- Experience in real estate, construction, appraisal, or a related field
- Comfort reading a building, from foundation to roof, and knowing what you're looking at
- Clear, friendly communication with all kinds of people
- Comfort with technology, including tablets, cameras, and data entry
- A valid driver's license and a reliable way to get around the county
Schedule and conditions
- Full-time, Monday to Friday, day shift
- Regular driving and outdoor fieldwork in all seasons, balanced with office time
Training and growth
The PVA's Office is happy to train the right person. If you don't know much about construction yet but you have the right attitude and are excited to serve, that's what matters most to us. If you have the right character and see this as a real opportunity to grow and serve your community, we will train you in construction, and we'll send you to construction classes if that would help.
Above all, we want you to grow in your ability to value property. Valuing property fairly and accurately across Warren County is at the core of what the PVA's Office does, and we're looking for someone who wants to build that skill. For the right person, this role will include some class time in property valuation along with hands-on training in the field.
