Clerk'auditor reports ~400 parcel appeals; council approves roughly $95M in BOE adjustments
Summary
The county's Clerk/Auditor reported results of the BOE third round: about 400 appealed parcels, ~$1.351 billion combined market value, and roughly $95 million in adjustments (about 0.68% of the county tax roll). Council approved the BOE adjustments unanimously.
Jerry, speaking for the Clerk/Auditor's office, presented the third round of BOE hearings. He said roughly 400 parcels were reviewed in this round across residential and commercial property and reported a combined market value figure of about $1.351 billion for those parcels. Of that total Jerry said approximately $95 million in assessed value was adjusted (he described that as roughly a 14% adjustment of the appealed dollar total and about 0.68% of the county's overall tax roll of approximately $28 billion). He also noted roughly a quarter of appeals resulted in no change.
The council discussed the statistics and thresholds that would trigger roll adjustments; staff clarified the 3% threshold question raised by a councilmember and explained the BOE process. Jerry also noted a handful of assessor-initiated corrections outside the BOE (about $10,500 total) for minor acreage or square‑foot errors and asked the council to include those in the approval.
A motion to accept the BOE adjustments and related assessor corrections was made, seconded and approved by unanimous recorded vote.
Practical effect: approved adjustments will result in refunds or corrections to tax rolls for the affected parcels and are administratively processed through the Clerk/Auditor function. Staff said the county will continue remaining rounds of BOE hearings in the coming weeks.
