Hello!
My name is Bill Dunn. I am the McCracken County Property Valuation Administrator (PVA).
I have been the County PVA since October 8, 2018.
Background
I am happily married with two grown children and five grandchildren.
I spent 6 years and 10 months in the US Navy. After my initial training as an electronics technician I served nearly four years onboard the USS Oldendorf (DD-972). Before leaving the Navy I earned a Navy Achievement Medal for my work building the ship’s first Novell network.
From 2007 to 2018 I worked in real estate as a Realtor. Besides working with private buyers and sellers I also worked for several asset management companies responsible for selling foreclosures. During my time as a Realtor I completed numerous broker price opinions (BPOs) and competitive market analysis (CMAs). These BPOs and CMAs are price valuations similar to PVA assessments.
I also worked at a local telecommunications company from 1996 to 2018. I managed servers and routers and developed websites. Many people know me as the developer of a local classifieds website.
Education
My education consists of a Masters of Business Administration (MBA) degree from Murray State University (MSU). My undergraduate degree is also from MSU in business administration in which I earned the magna cum laude honor. I previously had a Cisco CCNA certification and I still hold two CompTIA certs (Network+ and Security+). I am a proud alumni of Leadership Paducah Class 26 and a prior board member of the Leadership Paducah Foundation.
My PVA Office
During my 2014 & 2018 campaigns I touted the need for transparency and accuracy. Since taking office I have added a Transparency tab to our website displaying our office expenses, budget, quad plan and recent sales. My staff and I work everyday to update property characteristics.
My top priority is complying with state law requiring a complete inspection of the entire county every four years and assessing each property at fair market value which may mean an increase or decrease to a property’s assessment.
