Reis family seeks explanation of commercial property valuations; commissioners ask for independent review
Summary
Pete and Valerie Reis pressed the Grant County board about differing valuations of Tuff-E Manufacturing structures; Tax Equalization Director Jackie Steinmetz provided a comparison and commissioners asked Auditor Sara Meier to arrange an independent valuation review.
Pete and Valerie Reis met with the Grant County Commissioners on April 16 to question the valuation assigned to several Tuff-E Manufacturing structures and the differences compared with neighboring properties. The minutes record that the Reis family had raised the issue previously at the June 2024 county Board of Equalization and that they were seeking an explanation rather than a reduction in value.
Jackie Steinmetz, Director of Tax Equalization, told the board she would follow up and provided a valuation comparison from the City of Carson's Equalization meeting after the 2025 review. Commissioner Marty Meyer asked for an outside, independent opinion of the properties' values; Auditor Sara Meier agreed to identify someone to perform an independent review.
The minutes do not specify the scope, method, timeline or budget for the independent review; the board recorded the request as direction to the auditor rather than a formal change to assessed values.
