Summary
At a July 23, 2021 final property protest hearing the Nemaha County Board of Equalization denied most protests, approved several reductions after on-site reviews (notably for parcels listed to Bryce & Luke Andrew and multiple Janecek parcels) and approved an increase for DM Crop; a proposed 20% reduction for the Peru Bottom area failed on roll call.
The Nemaha County Board of Equalization held a final property valuation protest hearing on July 23, 2021. Chairman Bryan Mellage called the meeting to order and the board proceeded through a docket of protests that had been scheduled for final decision.
The board voted to deny the assessor-challenged valuation for the majority of protests, recording for many items that the board "concurs with Assessor's recommendation" and found the properties valued comparable to like properties. For several protests the assessor viewed properties and recommended adjustments; the board approved those adjustments. Notable outcomes recorded in the minutes include a reduction for Bryce & Luke Andrew (parcel 640060331) from a prior valuation of $447,244 to $39,423 and substantial reductions for two parcels listed to Alison K. Janecek (reductions from $881,019 to $417,066 and from $968,027 to $241,449). The board also approved an increase in valuation for DM Crop (parcel 640056733) from $532,565 to $1,204,735 after assessor review.
During the session Chairman Mellage moved, and the board considered, a motion to give all parcels in the area of 641 Road and 736 Avenue in the Peru Bottom area a 20% reduction in value. The motion failed on a roll call vote (Hall, nay; Mellage, aye; Holtzman, nay) and did not carry.
