Darlene Plummer announced Thursday she would seek reelection as the property valuation administrator, often shortened to PVA, for Kenton County.
Although she can’t officially file for candidacy until November, she filed a statement of spending intent with the Kentucky Registry of Election Finance last month, which is usually seen as the first step in campaigning.
“I am honored to serve the citizens of Kenton County and remain committed to providing accurate, transparent and exceptional customer service,” Plummer said in a written announcement. “If re-elected, I will continue to advance technology, strengthen customer relationships and ensure fair and equitable assessments for all property owners.”
The PVA’s office is responsible for assessing the value of properties throughout the county. Assessments are then used to determine property tax bills, although the PVA is not responsible for collecting taxes.
Plummer was first elected to the position in 2014. She has a bachelor’s degree in management and a certificate of accounting from Northern Kentucky University. She’s also a licensed real estate broker and an active volunteer in the community.
