Patrick County Commissioner of the Revenue Janet Rorrer was among those honored at the 100th Annual Conference of the Commissioner of the Revenue Association for becoming one of the first localities in the Commonwealth to achieve office accreditation.

It signifies that the Patrick County Commissioner of the Revenue office has met the highest standards of professionalism as set forth by the Commissioners of the Revenue Association of Virginia,” said The Honorable Thomas Blackwell, President of the Association
Accreditation is awarded only to offices which have met the rigorous standards set forth by the Commissioner of the Revenue Association. The twelve standards set forth by the Association include education requirements for the Commissioner and staff, customer service, personnel and ethics policies as well as assessment methodology. Each office receiving accreditation has undergone an audit to ensure compliance and will be required to annually demonstrate they continue to meet these standards.
