Nelson County Board of Equalization approves 7% residential value increase to meet tolerance
Summary
At a June 6 Board of Equalization session, Nelson County approved a 7% increase to most residential property values to bring assessments within tolerance; the vote excluded structures valued in 2023 and residential lake lots.
Nelson County’s Board of Equalization voted June 6 to raise most residential property valuations by 7% to bring the county within state tolerance.
The board convened at 11:00 a.m. for the Board of Equalization. Tax assessor Michelle Linstad presented four options for adjusting residential values and recommended an approach to correct the county’s tolerance level. The board adopted a 7% increase for residential property values while excluding residential structures that were valued in 2023 and all residential lake lots.
The motion to approve the 7% increase was moved by Commissioner Steve Forde and seconded by Commissioner Aaron Mork; all members voted "Yes." The board then adjourned the Board of Equalization and returned to the regular commission meeting.
The adjustment is intended to align Nelson County’s assessments with statutory or administrative tolerance thresholds; the minutes do not specify the alternate options presented or the dollar impact on individual properties.
Next steps noted in the record: the BOE adjourned after the vote and no appeals or further action were recorded in the minutes for this session.
