A bill that would clarify the property valuation process was discussed in a Revenue Committee hearing Jan. 19.<\/p>\n
York Sen. Greg Adams said he introduced LB822 on behalf of county assessors seeking to avoid confusion among property owners.<\/p>\n
Currently, when a property is assessed at a value different than the previous year, the county assessor must notify the property owner. The old and new assessed values, dates to file a protest and the median value of all property in the county are included in the notice.<\/p>\n
LB822 would eliminate the inclusion of the median value from personal notices. Under the bill, the value would continue to be provided by the assessor\u2019s office and to local media.<\/p>\n
\u201cListing the median value creates confusion for taxpayers,\u201d Adams said.<\/p>\n
Marilyn Hladky, representing the Nebraska Association of County Assessors, testified in support of the bill. She explained that the median value listed in the notice has been a frequent point of contention for taxpayers.<\/p>\n
\u201cSome homeowners who are assessed above the listed median value feel their valuation should be lowered to meet the median,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
No one testified in opposition to the bill and no immediate action was taken.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
