PAUL DICTOS

Occupation: Certified Public Accountant- Dictos Accountancy Corporation

  The Assessor-Recorder is responsible for fairly evaluating taxable property, ensuring equal treatment for all homeowners, businesses, and agricultural taxpayers. As Fresno County’s primary funding source for road repairs, schools, parks, police, fire, and much more, you deserve an Assessor-Recorder who brings private sector productivity to the office. One who will practice fiscal responsibility by maintaining a balanced budget. One that will do more with less.

  I possess the qualifications and experience to ensure that the Assessor’s appraisals, valuations, and assessments are accurate, and the Recorder’s office functions properly. With 38 years of experience as a CPA, I have conducted numerous public and private sector audits, recommending improvements and developing financial control systems that benefit government, industry, and the general public.

  County and State officials have criticized the operations of the retiring Assessor-Recorder – I’ll improve office management while prioritizing potential improvements in accordance with budgetary limitations. One of my first orders of business will be to replace the 44 year-old Cobol-based computer system to bring the tracking of your assessments into the 21st Century.

  My supporters symbolize my commitment to honesty, integrity and independence. They trust my judgment and ability to do this job. Together we ask for your vote.
