Cass County commissioners approve $77,700 property tax abatement for Fargo parcel
Summary
The Cass County Board of Commissioners approved a property tax abatement request for parcel 4594, reducing the 2025 certified value to $106,000 after the City of Fargo recommended a $77,700 abatement. The motion passed on roll call.
Cass County commissioners voted to approve a property tax abatement for parcel 4594, filed by appellant Ethan McAllister, adjusting the 2025 certified value to $106,000.
A representative from the county tax equalization office summarized the request, saying, “The appellant has requested a decreased value for the 2025 tax year due to the condition of the subject property via appurtenant sites, roofing, pavement, and garage issues as well as interior mold” and noted the City of Fargo reviewed and recommended an abatement of $77,700. The tax office stated it agreed with the revised assessment and recommended approval of the adjustment as submitted by the City of Fargo.
An unnamed commissioner moved to approve the abatement “as submitted by the City of Fargo.” The board conducted a roll call; the transcript records Commissioner Wray voting “Yes,” Commissioner Capitan voting “Yes,” and Commissioner Banco registering “Aye.” The motion carried.
The commission did not elaborate further on the property in the public meeting. The tax office’s memorandum and the City of Fargo’s market comparison were referenced by staff as the basis for the revised valuation.
The board’s action adjusts the certified value for the 2025 tax year; no further details about appeals, refunds, or next administrative steps were discussed during the meeting.
