ASSESSOR: Kovacs doesn’t understand job

| April 1, 2026 1:00 AM

Assessor Kovacs, in a recent video release, claims to be responsible for builders getting projects done faster due to his office’s moving building permits along faster. Apparently, he doesn’t realize his office does not process building permits: they go through the county and cities’ planning departments, Then the Assessor’s Office gets to go out and do appraisals. He has a way of throwing statements and random Idaho codes out when he’s talking to make people think he knows what he’s talking about. 

Please check the facts on Kovacs before you vote in May. His lack of leadership has caused major errors that are costing taxpayers thousands — but it wasn’t his fault! It was the computer system, the Treasurer’s Office, the IT department and his very own employees that caused the error! He never takes responsibility for his own incompetence.
