In a recent government meeting, several property valuation protests were addressed, resulting in adjustments to assessed values based on the condition of the properties.

One notable case involved S and S Cleaning Services, located at 620 North Custer, where the property owner protested a valuation of $92,420, requesting a reduction to $84,918. After reviewing the property and discussions with the homeowner, the valuation was adjusted to reflect a lower quality grade, resulting in a new total of $84,918.

Another significant protest came from Joe and Gail at 207 South Bear Avenue, North Platte. They contested an aggregate valuation of $171,129, seeking a reduction to $124,500. The assessor noted the property's poor condition, supported by photographs provided by the homeowners, leading to a revised valuation of $148,586.

Multiple protests from Gary Pearson were withdrawn, indicating no further action was required on those cases.

Additionally, Rhonda Quimbley protested the valuation of her property at 31634 West Emerson Avenue, seeking a reduction from $138,470 to $235,000. The assessor recommended a new valuation of $135,909 after considering the removal of a metal shed.

Cheryl and James Orr also sought a reduction for their property, citing necessary repairs. Their initial valuation of $73,304 was adjusted to $65,865 after the assessor reviewed the condition and depreciation factors.

Lastly, Gary Atterberry protested the valuation of his property at 502 South Elder, requesting a decrease from $183,698 to $150,000 due to various condition issues. The assessor acknowledged some updates but noted that the interior still required work.

These discussions highlight the ongoing efforts of the Board of Equalization to ensure property valuations accurately reflect current conditions, providing relief to homeowners facing inflated assessments.
