Committee approves multiple 2025 tax rescissions and refunds, asks for regular informational reporting
Summary
The committee approved rescissions/refunds totaling about $45,656 (including tribal trust parcels and a small city‑owned parcel), and members requested an annual or rolling informational report showing properties moved into trust and the impact on the levy.
The Green Bay Finance Committee approved multiple rescissions and refunds of 2025 real estate taxes on Jan. 27, including a $40,058.63 rescission for a parcel recorded in trust at 501 Parkland Drive, a $3,853.51 rescission for parcel 2737, a $1,425.53 refund to WS Property Investment LLC, and rescissions totaling $1,319.24 for two parcels owned by the City of Green Bay.
Committee members asked why recording into trust produced a lag between sale and exemption; staff and an assessor representative explained federal trust processes can delay formal trust recording and exemption notifications. Staff said the city receives notifications on a rolling basis but agreed to prepare an annual informational report or an earlier rolling summary to show properties transferred into trust and the resulting levy impact. One staff member noted the total property value in the cooperative governance agreement and annual tax impact are tracked and could be reported to the committee.
All listed tax rescissions and refunds were approved by voice votes during the meeting and will be charged to the 2026 budget where appropriate.
