Marshall County appeal board records assessor testimony on four absent petitioners; no final determinations
Summary
On Sept. 17 the county board proceeded with multiple property-assessment appeals where petitioners did not appear. County representatives summarized comparable sales and recommended assessing values be upheld; the board concluded those hearings in the petitioners' absence.
At a Marshall County Property Tax Appeal Board session on Sept. 17, 2025, the board proceeded with four appeals where petitioners were not present: a condominium unit at 735 Anchors Way (appeal 50014250500013), a residence at 202 West Clay Street in Bourbon (appeal 50002250500015), and two Culver condominium/unit appeals (appeal 50014250500004 for 319 E. Jefferson #216; appeal 50014250500005 for 319 E. Jefferson #177). County assessor representatives presented market and sales information in each case and the board concluded the proceedings in the petitioners' absence; the board did not announce any final reassessment at the Sept. 17 session.
For the Anchors Way condominium (petitioner not present), county staff reported limited stock of units and some recent sales in the area, including a unit (765 Anchors Way) that sold multiple times and had risen substantially in price in recent years; county testimony stated the assessor contends the assessed value should be sustained for Jan. 1, 2025. The petitioner’s notice had been returned unclaimed and the board proceeded without the petitioner present.
For the Bourbon property at 202 West Clay Street, the assessor told the board the South Bourbon neighborhood had seen a sizable market increase and the county contends the assessed value should remain at $177,100 for Jan. 1, 2025; the petitioners (Erin and Gary England) did not appear or request rescheduling.
For two Culver condominium/unit appeals (319 E. Jefferson, units reported as #216 and #177), the assessor presented recent sales and cost-table information. For one Culver unit the county reported a median calculation that supported a value of about $433,100 for Jan. 1, 2025; for another unit, the county cited recent sale activity (listed and sold near $385,000) and contended the value should hold at approximately $353,600 for Jan. 1, 2025. The petitioners in these matters did not appear and the board concluded each hearing after receiving the assessor's testimony.
The board recorded that notices had been mailed and, in some cases, returned unclaimed; it moved forward with the assessor's presentation in the petitioners' absence and closed each hearing. The board did not enter final reassessment orders during the Sept. 17 session in these matters but indicated the county's position in the record.
