Dozens of flood victims seeking property tax relief may have had personal documents like checks posted for public view on the Davidson County Assessor’s web site.
County Assessor George Rooker said the private information had already been removed to a private server. There were 68 flood victims who applied to have their property taxes reduced and sent in supporting materials, such as checks they wrote to pay for repairs.
Applicants began providing information in June, Rooker said
“I’m just really angry because I work in health care and we have to consider patients’ privacy, and it was just sort of stunning they would allow those documents online,” said Eva Wood, who lives in River Plantation in Bellevue.
