Paulk Turner, director of appraisal and valuation services, was recently quoted in a Birmingham Business Journal article discussing surging property values in Jefferson County in 2019.The article covers the significant rise in property values and taxes in areas like Homewood, Downtown Birmingham and Parkside.
“I’ve looked at two properties that went up 30% to 40% in county appraised value but are still probably below what I would appraise them for in the current market,” Turner said. “So, people complain, but they don’t have much of an argument.”
