A BILL to amend the Code of West Virginia, 1931, as amended, by adding thereto a new section, designated §11-2-12, relating to granting licensed real estate appraisers access to commercial or residential review documents.

    A county assessor shall provide a person, who is a licenced real estate appraiser under article thirty-eight, chapter thirty of this code, copies of commercial or residential review documents on the assessor's computerized assessment system, and may charge a fee of no more than $10 per form. These forms shall be obtained for the sole purpose of determining comparable market value of a property. Also, the assessor shall redact from the copies, information pertaining to security systems, home safes and other information that may jeopardize the security of the property or any possessions

therein.

    NOTE: The purpose of this bill is to permit licensed real estate appraisers access to commercial or residential review documents. The bill also permits county assessors to charge no more than $3 per form.
