Dorothy Jacks for Property Appraiser

Dorothy Jacks

is a Certified Florida Evaluator and an Assessment Administration Specialist with 27 years of appraisal and assessment administration experience in Palm Beach County.

As Chief Deputy Property Appraiser, Dorothy shares responsibilities with Property Appraiser Gary Nikolits, CFA, for the overall operation of the office and its staff of 250.

Often referred to as the “Mama of PAPA,” Dorothy led the design team that developed the Property Appraiser’s award-winning PAPA website and the new PAPA Mobile browser-based tool for smart phones and tablets. As Chief Deputy, Dorothy also oversees the office’s public service functions, including our five Service Centers, Exemption Services, Information Technology, Mapping and GIS sections, Public Records, PAPA and PAPA Mobile.

Dorothy was recently elected Vice President of the International Association of Assessing Officers (IAAO), a 7,000 member worldwide organization of professional assessing and appraising officials. She will serve as president in 2018.

Closer to home, Dorothy is a board member of the Economic Forum of Palm Beach County, and the Women’s Foundation of Palm Beach County. She is a former member of the City of West Palm Beach Zoning Board of Appeals, a past-president of Executive Women of the Palm Beaches, a past-president of the Friends of the Mandel Public Library, and an active alumnus of Leadership Palm Beach County.

Ms. Jacks is running for Property Appraiser as Gary Nikolits decided not to run again.

Don't we want an experienced property appraiser and not a term limited politician with zero experience and one who is trying to give away John Prince Park to the Atlanta Braves?
