Nemaha County Board of Equalization approves mailing of valuation notices, lists six parcel adjustments
Summary
At its May 20, 2026 meeting the Nemaha County Board of Equalization approved mailing valuation notices on June 1 and recorded six parcel valuation items — including sales and omitted improvements — to be reflected in those notices.
The Nemaha County Board of Equalization voted May 20 to authorize mailing of overvalued, undervalued, clerical error and omitted real property notices on June 1, and recorded six parcel valuation items for inclusion in that report.
Commissioner Michael Weiss moved to approve the mailing of the Board Notices; Chairman Bryan Mellage seconded the motion. The roll call recorded Mellage aye and Weiss aye. Present at the meeting were Chairman Bryan Mellage (Commissioner, District 2), Commissioner Michael Weiss (District 3), County Clerk Diane Johnson and County Assessor Mallory Lempka; Commissioner Mike Hall (District 1) was noted absent earlier in the session.
The board also approved the meeting agenda and the May 6, 2026 minutes during the brief session. Both motions were moved by Weiss and seconded by Mellage and were recorded as approved by roll call votes.
