Dunn County and city property values set for 2025; county residential values rise 6%
Summary
The Dunn County Board of Commissioners, sitting as the Board of Equalization, approved 2025 assessed values for the county and its cities after assessor reports. County residential true-and-full value rose about 6% from 2024; commercial values changed roughly 1%. City-level updates for Kildeer, Dunn Center, Halliday and Dodge were also accepted.
Dunn County’s Board of Equalization approved the county and municipal assessed values for 2025 after the county assessor and municipal assessors presented state-compliance sales ratios, base-year updates and manual cost adjustments.
Holly (county assessor) presented the county totals: the county’s 2025 residential true-and-full assessed value was $201,262,680, a 6% increase from 2024. Commercial property true-and-full assessed value for 2025 was $278,000,970, a 1% increase from 2024. Agricultural land values remained within the state tolerance (the county reported a sales-ratio position at about 96%), with ag-land valuation at $271,851,600 for 2025.
City assessments presented and approved included: - City of Kildeer: residential ~ $71,000,000; commercial ~ $64,000,000 (approximate figures provided to the commission at the city’s board action). - Dunn Center: residential $8,596,310 and commercial $8,068,390 for combined 2025 true-and-full value of $16,664,700 (values adjusted after manual-cost changes and map-area adjustments). - Halliday: 2025 combined true-and-full value around $15,657,370 after a 13% combined increase. - Dodge: 2025 combined true-and-full value $5,143,450 (a 2% increase).
Holly said the county issued 94 notices of increase during the review period (24 for new construction, nine for farm-exemption disqualifications, and 11 for land splits), and reported 198 farm exemptions were granted for the year. The assessor told commissioners that the county’s sales ratios fall within established state tolerances and that manual cost adjustments reflected updated construction-cost units last re-evaluated in 2008.
Commission action: a motion to accept the city values and a separate motion to accept the county values were both approved by the commission with no recorded opposing votes.
Why it matters: the approved assessed values determine the property tax base used in upcoming budget calculations for county and municipal governments. Assessors noted larger percentage changes in some small municipalities linked to base-year updates and manual-cost adjustments rather than broad market shifts.
Next steps: The assessor’s office will finalize assessment rolls and tax notices per statute; property owners retain the right to appeal valuations through established city- and county-level review steps noted in the assessor’s presentation.
