York County Board of Equalization approves tax refunds and assessment corrections
Summary
The York County Board of Equalization approved three tax refund requests, authorized tax-list corrections covering records 424R–1124R, and approved a clerical error report to correct a taxpayer's 2024 land assessment. County Assessor Kurt Bolton confirmed postcards were mailed for upcoming hearings and noted scheduling updates.
The York County Board of Equalization voted to approve three tax refund requests and the associated assessment corrections at its meeting.
County Assessor Kurt Bolton told the board he had three items: a refund tied to an incorrect acreage on a farm parcel for a Mr. Kubicek; a correction converting one acre labeled as "site" to one acre of grass on a rural residential parcel; and a refund for a Mr. Lehman after staff found he had been assessed twice, once by square footage and again by site acres. "I have three items for you today," Bolton said, summarizing the requests and asking the board to approve the refund letters that had been sent to the county treasurer.
The board moved and seconded the motion to approve the refund requests and approved it by roll call.
Bolton then described the tax-list corrections that implement those refunds, referring to the record range 424R through 1124R and noting counts across the groups. The board approved a motion to adopt those corrections by roll call.
Separately, Bolton presented a clerical error report to permit correction of Mr. Lehman's incorrect land values for the 2024 assessment year. The board moved, seconded and approved that clerical error report.
Bolton also reported that postcards notifying property owners of assessment hearings had been mailed and confirmed they were sent on September 7. He said one local entity (the transcript refers to it as "Cool Junction") was required to receive postcards and that about 20 parcels tied to Hampton Public School were included; those school-related hearings are scheduled to be handled in Aurora. The transcript also references a hearing for an entity called "Gold Junction" scheduled for the next evening at the high school; the transcript uses both spellings in different places, and the correct local spelling is not specified in the record.
Board members and Bolton discussed upcoming meetings: Bolton said he would attend the Central District assessor meeting and that the board is planning a session that would include Sarah Scott; that appearance is tentatively set for Oct. 15 pending confirmation from the county attorney's office. With no further business the chair adjourned the meeting.
The board's actions included approval of refund letters, adoption of tax-list corrections (424R–1124R), and approval of a clerical error report to correct a 2024 assessed value. Specific dollar amounts for refunds and exact vote tallies were not specified in the transcript.
