Larry Stone, Santa Clara County's longest-serving elected official, will step down as county assessor next month after more than three decades in the role. At 84, he decided not to seek re-election, with his last day being July 6. Stone's tenure included overseeing a significant increase in property value and managing a large assessment role. He aimed to replace a decades-old computer system before his departure, completing a long search for a new vendor. His successor will be Assistant Assessor Greg Monteverde until the special election is held.
It was just time, Stone told The Mercury News in an interview of his decision to step down.
I'm constitutionally required to close the assessment role by July 1 every year and have done that every year,
