Gov. Asa Hutchinson announced Thursday that he has named Bear Chaney as the Arkansas Assessment Coordination Department director.

Chaney, a Bella Vista resident, currently serves as the assessor in Benton County, the governor's spokesman J.R. Davis said in an email.

Chaney has worked in real estate for over 30 years and in that time worked for three different state assessor's offices and owned an appraisal business, the email states.

He is a licensed and certified residential appraiser with the Arkansas Appraiser Licensing and Certification Board, as well as a level-four appraiser and a reappraisal manager, Davis said.
