Buffalo County Board of Equalization voids defective 2016 tax notices, approves exemptions
Summary
At its Feb. 14 session, the Buffalo County Board of Equalization found 2016 tax-notice notifications constitutionally insufficient for three parcels and declared those notices void; the Board also approved motor-vehicle and permissive exemptions for a church and the University of Nebraska at Kearney.
The Buffalo County Board of Equalization on Feb. 14 adopted findings that defective 2016 notifications concerning assessed value and exempt status failed to satisfy due-process requirements for certain parcels and declared those notices void.
After reviewing the County Attorney's letter and other evidence, the Board determined that 2016 notices were insufficient for the tenant and/or government and that, as corrected due to a clerical error, the 2016 taxes are void and of no effect for three parcels identified in the meeting record: tax parcel #520164000, #520165000, and #520040000. The Board voted unanimously to adopt the finding.
The Board also approved a motor-vehicle tax-exemption renewal application submitted by County Treasurer Brenda Rohrich for Countryside Christian Church (a Ford Econoline Van E250) and granted a permissive tax exemption to the Board of Regents of the University of Nebraska dba University of Nebraska at Kearney for parcel 580170450 after a video presentation from Jon Watts, vice chancellor for business and finance. Those exemption motions carried by roll call votes.
County Assessor Roy Meusch additionally submitted Tax List Corrections numbered 4929 through 4952, which the Board approved.
