Board of Equalization denies tax exemption on 18% of CHI Health–Good Samaritan parcel; museum hearing set
Summary
The Board of Equalization rescinded a prior exemption decision and denied exemption on 18% of CHI Health–Good Samaritan parcel 601995000, setting the taxable portion at $506,720. The board also approved a permissive exemption waiver request for the Nebraska Art Museum Collection and scheduled a public hearing for April 12, 2022.
At its March 22 session as the Board of Equalization, the Buffalo County Board rescinded a prior permissive exemption decision and denied tax‑exempt status on 18 percent of parcel 601995000 owned by CHI Health–Good Samaritan.
County Assessor Ethel Skinner told the board the parcel previously considered included more than the daycare facility and its immediate parking area; she recommended that 18 percent of the land value and the facility be placed on the tax roll because it no longer met exemption criteria. The board voted to deny the exemption on that portion; the minutes record the taxable portion as $506,720. The rescission motion and the denial were both moved by Commissioner Ronald Loeffelholz and seconded by Commissioner Myron Kouba; votes were unanimous.
Separately, the board approved a permissive exemption waiver request for the Nebraska Art Museum Collection and authorized Assessor Skinner to consider the exemption further. A public hearing on the museum matter was scheduled for the board’s April 12, 2022 meeting. The minutes do not include supporting exhibits or the assessor’s full valuation analysis in the record.
