Inyo County California

The Assessor’s Office is a vital part of local government, established under the California Constitution and governed by laws enacted by the State Legislature. It is led by an elected official who serves a four-year term. Since 2015, that role has been proudly held by Dave Stottlemyre.

Dave has called Inyo County home since 1976, moving here after receiving an honorable discharge from military service. Since then, he has been a dedicated and active member of the community. A graduate of Cal Poly State University, San Luis Obispo, Dave earned his B.S. in Business Administration with a concentration in Accounting.

Before becoming your County Assessor, Dave successfully owned and operated a tax and business consulting firm in Bishop for over 32 years. He also served on the Bishop City Council for six years, including one term as mayor. Dave is a certified appraiser through the California State Board of Equalization and remains an engaged member of the California Assessors' Association.
