Born in 1976 in the old Budge Clinic in Logan, Utah to Clair and Sylvia Robinson. He is a lifelong resident of Cache County. Alumni of North Park Elementary, Cedar Ridge, North Cache and Sky View High School. Upon returning home from a religious mission to New England Brett attended Utah State University graduating in 2002 in Finance and Economics. He married Landree Jill Lybbert in December of 2002. A daughter Libby Jill Robinson was born in 2008 and Hal Loy Robinson was born in 2016.
Experience
Upon graduation Brett worked in Financial Services for a short time before finding his passion as an Appraiser. His start came in 2005 beginning at the Cache County Assessor’s Office. Duties included measuring new homes and estimating value for the tax roll based on cost and using comparable sales of similar properties. An opportunity to become a Commercial Appraiser came in 2007 with one of our Region’s most respected appraisal firms. Appraising more complex commercial properties provided him the chance to more fully utilize his financial and economic training from Utah State University. It also provided him additional licensing beyond residential appraising. In 2010 he received a Certified General License from the State of Utah. Some of the Clients and Users of the Appraisal Reports during this time period included Banks, Estates and State and Local Government.
In late 2012 he returned to the Cache County Assessor’s office as the Commercial Appraiser on staff. As the sole Certified General Appraiser it has been his responsibility to appraise for assessment purposes the most complex properties in Cache County. Additionally, from early 2013 to the end of 2016 he served on the North Logan Planning Commission serving as the Chair for much of that time. Most recently, upon the recommendation of the retiring Kathleen Howell he was asked to serve as the Interim Assessor.
Principles
Brett Robinson believes that our United States Constitution was Divinely Inspired to protect Liberty. He also supports our State Constitution and Republican Party Platforms. He endorses the conservative principles found in our own Cache County Republican Platform. If elected, he is committed to following the law and applying it fairly and equally.

I have tried to stay involved in politics most of my life in one way or another. I believe that my educational background in Public Administration, paired with my profession as a Certified Residential appraiser, is the perfect combination for the new Cache County Assessor. I have a great knowledge of the current real estate market and am trained to manage in the public sector. Cache County needs my experience as the new Cache County Assessor.
