Chris Jones has decided not to seek re-election as Escambia County Property Appraiser. Jones has served the citizens of Escambia County with dedication and integrity since his appointment in 1995.

“It was bittersweet, but it was the right decision for me and my family at the time,” Jones said. And I agree that the office is going to be in great hands. I’m happy for Bubba Peters; I’m happy for my staff. All those kind words you said at the beginning are because I’ve assembled a first-class staff that takes care of the needs of the people in Escambia County.”

Bubba Peters qualified for Property Appraised and will follow in Jones’ footsteps since no one opposed him.

“He came to work with me out of high school, and he’s worked his way or earned his way, I should say, from a student to a field appraiser, to a supervisor, to a director,” Jones said of Peter. “And for the last several years, he’s been my number two person, chief Deputy Bubba’s good people. He’s highly intelligent. He’s got that rare mixture of common sense and book intelligence.”
