Since 2021, Buckner has served as Assistant Assessor where he managed responsibilities such as valuing possessory interests, gas wells, agricultural properties, and overseeing budgetary and operational aspects of the office. His efforts have enhanced transparency and equitable property assessments in Colusa County.

“I am honored to be selected as Colusa County Assessor and look forward to building on the progress we’ve made in the office,” said Buckner. “I am committed to continuing a culture of respect, professionalism, and public service to ensure our assessments reflect the standards and values of our community.”
