Fulton assessors hire a new chief appraiser

The Fulton County Board of Assessors has chosen David Fitzgibbon to replace Burt Manning as chief appraiser. Manning left in February, after six years, to work as a development and training specialist for the state Revenue Department.

Fitzgibbon served as an assistant chief appraiser under Manning. His resume includes more than four decades of real estate and assessment experience, including serving as chief appraiser in Henry and Gilmer counties, as director of the Property Tax Bureau in Mississippi and as chief appraiser in the Tax and Revenue Office in Washington, D.C.
