The Property Appraiser’s Office is open to the public and receives up to 100 visitors daily.

Interior artwork opportunities exist in the highly trafficked public reception area and will enhance standard necessities such as floors, wall treatments, functional and decorative lighting, noise mitigation, or seating. The selected artist will collaborate with the design team to determine the most appropriate location for the artwork.
