Dundy County Board of Equalization

Valuation Protest Hearings

Actions of the Board

2011

 

 

 

Three protests of valuation were filed in 2011. 

 

One protest was agricultural property, one was residential, and one operating minerals.

 

The agricultural property was a dry cropland quarter.  Within his request for a reduction of value, based upon his opinion that the value had increased too much since last year, the owner stated there are 142 acres of cropland.  Only 126 acres were being assessed as cropland.

 

The county assessor’s recommendation to the Board was to increase the value to 97,440 to accommodate the correct number of cropland acres.

 

The Board increased the value from 95,070 to 97,440.

 

The residential property was an old residential structure and land in the town of Max.  The assessed value of the property was 4,743 based upon typical components such as age, size, and condition.  The structure has been “gutted” for remodel, but has, within the past few years, received exterior upgrades such as siding, roofing, and windows.  The site has been cleaned of debris and salvage structures.  Structural upgrades ceased in 2007.

 

The points made during the hearing were that the structure is uninhabitable with no electricity or plumbing and that some structural flaws exist in parts of the floor.  Counterpoints were made that the owner purchased the property for $6,000 prior to the site being cleared of old structures and debris and that the property is currently for sale for $11,000.  The property is valued uniformly and equally to other residential properties in Max and other Dundy County locations.

 

The county assessor recommended “no change”.  The Board denied the owner’s request for a valuation reduction to 3,000.

 

The operating minerals protest was filed by an agent on behalf of the owner on June 30, 2011, claiming the “value is over market and value is unequal compared to other properties”.  The protest was withdrawn, with no explanation, by the agent on July 6, 2011.
