Barre contracts with county for assessing services
BARRE – The Town of Barre and Orleans County have reached an agreement for Barre to pay $29,906 to the county for assessing services in 2025.
The county is creating a new full-time assessor position in the Real Property Tax Services Office in Albion.
Barre’s previous assessor left the job for a full-time position at the Oakfield-Alabama school district. For 30 years, Barry Flansburg served in the role until retiring Sept. 30, 2022.
Town Supervisor Sean Pogue said working with the county ensures Barre will have an assessor. If the person assigned to Barre is unavailable, Barre can draw on other staff at the Real Property office.
Barre is the third town to contract with the county for the service. Albion and Gaines have paid the county for the service since 2007.
