The Nemaha County Board of Equalization met in Commissioners Chambers at the Nemaha County Courthouse in Auburn on May 6, 2026, and approved a series of ministerial tax corrections and public notices.
Chairman Bryan Mellage called the session to order at 10:00 a.m. Commissioners Mike Hall (District 1) and Michael Weiss (District 3), County Clerk Diane Johnson and County Assessor Mallory Lempka were present. Commissioner Mike Hall moved to approve the agenda, Commissioner Michael Weiss seconded, and the board voted unanimously to approve the agenda and then unanimously approved the February 25, 2026 minutes.
The board set the schedule for property protest-form hearings for 2026: hearings at 10:30 a.m. on June 17, July 1 and July 15, and a final hearing at 9:00 a.m. on July 21.
On formal motions, the board approved Tax List Correction #2605-12 for Twelve Ten Enterprises Inc. (Schedule #640113517), reducing taxes by $1,203.22 for tax year 2025.
