�, Elk s �- River Request for Action To Item Number Ma Tor and CinT Council 2-5 Agenda Section Meeting Date Prepared by Action Item A ril 10, 2023 Tina rlllard, Cittr C1eYk Item Description Reviewed by Board of Appeal and Equalization Meeting Cal PortneY, Ci r Administrator Reviewed by Action Requested The Board listens to each appeal and makes a determination regarding the value or classification of the parcel being considered. If the Board is not sure ho`v to vote, the decision should be "no change." The propertyT o�vner is then able to appeal to the County Board or the Tax Court. All decisions should be adopted byT a formal vote. Options for decisions include: ■ No change ■ Reduce the value of a propeYtyr ■ Raise the value of a pYopeYt�r ■ Add improvements to the assessment list ■ Add pYopeYties to the assessments list ■ Change the classification of property ■ Have the assessor inspect the propert�T and report to the board at a reconvene meeting If the BoaYd determines further review of any paYcels by the assessor are needed, a Yeconvene meeting must be set for the assessor to report back for further action. The date and time must be determined before the recess of this meeting and must be within 20 days of this meeting. The last date to schedule a reconvene meeting would be Frida�T, April 28. There is a Council meeting scheduled for MondayT, April 17 at 6:00 p.m. Background/Discussion Board Purpose The BoaYd's purpose is to objectively determine if paYcel values and classifications were pYoperly set for the curYent assessment. It is assumed the assessor has properlyT valued and classified a propertyT and the burden of proof rests `vith the propertyT o`vner. Appeals must be based on facts and the propernT o`vner must present supporting evidence to the Board that the current yTear's valuation or classification is incorrect. All changes made byT the Board must be based on fact. Remember, reductions in value shift the tax burden to others. r11so attached is the Board of Appeal handbook with more detailed information about the process. Reconvene Meeting All issues must be Yesolved before the meeting is adjourned. The Board should not oYder the assessoY to review a parcel and change the valuation/classification and then adjourn. The Board mayT ask the assessor to revie`v the paYcel and report back at a Yeconvene meeting. Once the BoaYd adjourns, it cannot Yeconvene.
