Commission grants 4% property‑tax abatement after manufactured home destroyed at 4847 Highway 73
Summary
Following a denied insurance claim, the Atchison County Commission approved a disaster‑relief abatement equal to 4% of the 2025 property tax for a manufactured home destroyed by wind and fire at 4847 Highway 73.
County staff presented a disaster‑relief application from a property owner whose manufactured home at 4847 Highway 73 was damaged by high winds and later destroyed by fire on March 19, 2025. Staff told commissioners the manufactured home had shifted off its foundation and that an insurance claim was denied. The property’s assessed/prorated values were discussed during the presentation.
Staff indicated a prorated eligible amount for the three months the structure existed was $20,005.80, and commissioners discussed whether the relief should be prorated; staff confirmed the relief would be prorated. The commission voted to approve the Atchison County Commissioner’s disaster‑relief determination order for the property, granting an abatement equal to 4% of the 2025 property tax for the address.
The applicant and staff provided supporting photos and documentation to the commission. Commissioners noted that many property owners are unaware of the disaster‑relief process and that the county will process the necessary change orders if the application is approved.
