Board affirms 10% penalty for Bracco Diagnostics late personal‑property return
Summary
Sarpy County's Board of Equalization approved a 10% penalty for a late personal property return filed after the May 1 deadline for Bracco Diagnostics Inc.; the assessor said the penalty was assessed in accordance with state statute and the board recorded a unanimous vote to approve.
The Sarpy County Board of Equalization approved a 10% penalty for Bracco Diagnostics Inc. after county staff said the company's personal‑property return was filed after the May 1 deadline.
County Assessor Dan Pittman told the board the return was filed late and that a 10% penalty applied under state statute. Pittman confirmed the penalty was assessed correctly in accordance with statute. A board member questioned the value of bringing such routine penalty assessments before the county board, saying the board lacked statutory authority to overturn the assessor’s penalty assessment.
The board recorded a motion to approve the assessed penalty; Commissioner Kelly moved, Commissioner Mixon seconded, and the vote was unanimous.
