Butler County Board of Equalization approves valuation adjustments and three tax-roll corrections
Summary
At its April 20 meeting in David City, the Butler County Board of Equalization approved a list of overvalued and undervalued properties presented by County Assessor Vickie Donoghue and voted to accept three tax-roll corrections that added $559.38 in taxes. Both motions passed unanimously with one member absent.
The Butler County Board of Equalization voted April 20 to approve a list of overvalued and undervalued real property presented by County Assessor Vickie Donoghue and to accept three tax-roll corrections that together add $559.38 in taxes.
County Assessor Vickie Donoghue presented the valuation list during the board's regular session at the Butler County Courthouse in David City and asked the board to approve it as presented. Board member Tony Krafka moved to approve the list; Robert Coufal seconded. A roll-call vote recorded six ayes (Krafka, Vandenberg, Coufal, Griess, Bauer, Steager), no nays and one absence (Jan Sypal). The motion carried.
Donoghue then presented three tax-roll corrections for action. The board approved the corrections on a motion by Brad Vandenberg, seconded by Scot Bauer. The adjustments were:
- Brett & Audrey Connot: added tax $95.48 — reason: late filing of 2025 personal property return. - Lori Janak: added tax $138.88 — reason: late filing of 2025 personal property return. - AKRS Equipment: added tax $325.02 — reason: omitted equipment; the advanced surveillance system does not belong on the return.
The corrections total $559.38. The roll-call vote on the corrections was unanimous among members present (six ayes; member Jan Sypal absent).
After completing those items, Robert Coufal moved, and Scott Griess seconded, that the body exit the Board of Equalization; that motion also passed unanimously among members present. The meeting minutes were approved as presented, and the minutes were signed by County Clerk Lori Aschoff and Chairman Scott Steager.
These actions update the county's tax rolls for the 2025 tax year and record the board's formal approval of the assessor's adjustments. No public testimony or opposing votes were recorded.
