Board of Equalization approves levy column change, renews motor vehicle tax exemptions
Summary
As the Buffalo County Board of Equalization on Nov. 12, commissioners approved a columniation change to school capital columns (Resolution 2024-48A) without changing levy amounts and renewed motor vehicle tax exemptions for the American Red Cross and Press On Ministries.
Meeting as the Board of Equalization, Buffalo County commissioners approved a columniation change to the previously adopted 2024-2025 property tax levies that consolidates Kearney Schools’ separate capital columns into a single “Capital” column; the change did not alter any levy amounts and was adopted as Resolution 2024-48A.
County Treasurer Brenda Rohrich presented the change. The board also approved motor vehicle tax exemption renewals: Daniel Lynch moved to renew an exemption for the American Red Cross (2017 Ford Fleet Manager) and Ronald Loeffelholz moved to renew exemptions for several Press On Ministries vehicles (1986–2017 models listed in the application). Both motions carried unanimously.
Why it matters: Levy columnation affects how tax data is presented on property tax statements for the district but did not change taxpayer levies. Motor-vehicle exemption renewals maintain tax-exempt status for nonprofit vehicles used for eligible purposes.
What happens next: The Board of Equalization adjourned and the county resumed its regular meeting; the adopted Resolution 2024-48A will be part of the county’s official levy documentation for 2024-2025.
