Otter Tail County opened and closed a public hearing Dec. 2 on proposed tax abatements for four parcels under the county's property tax rebate program for new single-family construction.

Community Development Project Manager Sarah Shakey explained the program offers rebates when owners build new single-family homes: two parcels are partner-city match programs that provide up to $5,000 from the city and an additional $5,000 from the county, while two other parcels were noticed as county cleanup efforts at the $10,000 level. The hearing opened at 1:01 p.m.; staff reported no members of the public were present to comment. Shakey said the items will likely appear on a future agenda for formal board action.

The hearing was closed with no public testimony.
