Valley County’s treasurer presented five tax-cancellation requests on Jan. 12 and commissioners approved them as presented.

The treasurer explained that three cancellations were for park-model units registered through the DMV and prepaid for 2025, and therefore should not have been assessed property taxes. "The first 1 is for $235.74, the second 1 for $287.74, and the third 1 for $70.54," the treasurer said when listing the amounts. Another cancellation involved a mobile home on the warrants-of-distraint list; the treasurer said the mobile home no longer exists on the parcel and requested cancellation of three years of delinquent taxes — "a total amount of $345.96." The fifth request corrected a clerical error on a parcel that had been granted tax-exempt status; the treasurer reported the total cancellation request was $1,109.77.

Commissioners asked clarifying questions about parcel locations and solid-waste fees; staff confirmed the payments that remained and that the canceled amounts reflected the full balances where applicable. An unidentified commissioner moved to approve cancellations 25-03, 25-04, 25-05, 25-06 and 25-07 and the motion passed by voice vote. The treasurer collected signatures to finalize the administrative cancellations after the meeting.

The approvals were administrative corrections to the tax roll; no policy or changes to local tax code were proposed at the meeting.
