The Gwinnett Board of Commissioners recently agreed to renew a contract for the motor vehicle appeals program.

At its Jan. 19 meeting the board awarded a $22,000 annual contract to LMC Inc., the highest scoring firm based on qualifications and experience, references, understanding of the work to be performed, approach to the project and cost. Gwinnett’s 2015 contract for the same service was contracted at the same amount.

The service provider responds to phone calls and correspondence regarding the motor vehicle tax appeal process, provides the recommended values for all motor vehicles under appeal to the chief appraiser and Board of Tax Assessors and provides finalized data and management reporting as required.
