Nathan Randolph
Why is Nathan Running?
Our community is growing and changing, and our PVA office should adapt to serve and meet the needs for today’s citizens. I believe there are many opportunities to improve how the PVA serves the people of Simpson County by using updated tools, modern practices, and a service-first approach.
I’m running because I have a strong passion for serving my community. I’ve had the opportunity to serve our Commonwealth at the Kentucky Department of Revenue, where I gained valuable experience in tax administration. With my education and professional experience, I’m confident I can help move the Simpson County PVA office forward in a positive, practical way.
Who is Nathan?
My name is Nathan Randolph, and I’m a fifth-generation Simpson County resident and property owner. I’m a 2019 graduate of Franklin-Simpson High School, and I went on to earn my Bachelor’s degree in Economics from Western Kentucky University, followed by an MBA from Murray State University.
I began my career with the Kentucky Department of Revenue specializing in Individual Income Tax as a Taxpayer Services Specialist, where I worked full time while attending graduate school part time. During my two years there, my performance evaluations rated me as an Exceptional employee, and I gained valuable experience in tax administration and public service.
I later accepted an opportunity with the Tennessee Department of Revenue, where I worked as a Tax Auditor Advanced specializing in Motor Fuel Tax, a position I held for almost two years.
Franklin has always been home to me, and it always will be. It’s important to me that our community remains the friendly place I grew up in. I want to be part of preserving that spirit by stepping forward as part of the next generation of leadership.
Save Time and Tax Dollars by Digitizing Property Records
Currently, the Simpson County PVA office still maintains property records using paper files and index cards. With over 10,000 parcels of land in Simpson County, this system makes it difficult to keep records organized and up to date.
As PVA, I will transition these paper files into a secure digital format, making it easier to organize records, access information quickly, and provide faster, more accurate service to residents. This change will help the office work smarter for the people of Simpson County.
I will also transition taxpayer notifications that can be sent on a large-format postcard to that format. It’s a practical, cost-saving solution: a clear postcard communicates the message more effectively than a letter that requires folding and stuffing envelopes. This approach saves time, reduces labor, lowers mailing costs, and helps ensure taxpayers receive information in a way that’s easy to understand.
No Fees to Access Your Property Records Online
Currently, a one-user unlimited access subscription for Simpson County’s PVA Website through qPublic costs $24 per month. The property valuation records are your data, and you deserve to have access to it.
As PVA, I will ensure that taxpayers will no longer pay a subscription fee to view their property assessment records online. I am committed to promoting transparency in property valuations and requiring a monthly subscription fee limits transparency.
Property Records Updated Online Everyday
Currently, property transfers may not be reflected online on the PVA website provided through qPublic for months after the deeds are recorded. I’m going to ensure that the PVA website will be made current.
As soon as a deed is recorded at the County Clerk’s office, the change in ownership will be reflected online for taxpayers to see by the next business day. This ensures taxpayers always have access to accurate information when they need it.
On May 19th, I’m asking for your vote.
Every goal on this list has already worked in other counties across the Commonwealth, and I want Simpson County to benefit too. On May 19th, I’m asking you to vote Nathan Randolph for PVA—let’s make our PVA office work better for you!
