I’m Kara Garr, and I’m running for Douglas County Assessor.

Property assessments play a crucial role for every homeowner and business in Douglas County. They not only determine tax bills but also influence public funding and impact household budgets. This responsibility demands precision, fairness, and transparency in assessments. 

After spending 15 years raising my three children, I returned to school at 35 to pursue a Master of Public Administration and build a career dedicated to enhancing complex systems. My professional work focuses on creating structured, accountable processes in order to ensure consistency and fairness in Douglas County taxation. 

As Kara Garr for Assessor, my commitment is clear: to ensure accurate valuations, enhance transparency around how assessments are determined, and uphold an accessible, impartial appeals process. Taxpayers in our community deserve the confidence that the assessment system is fair and professionally managed.
