Lincoln County Board, sitting as Board of Equalization, approves 32 valuation changes after assessor review
Summary
The Board of Equalization approved notice of valuation changes numbered 2026‑01 through 2026‑32 after Lincoln County Assessor Julie Stinger explained the office's physical reviews and aerial imagery updates. Taxpayers will be notified and retain a 30‑day protest right.
The Lincoln County Board of Equalization on May 26 approved notice of valuation changes numbered 2026‑01 through 2026‑32 submitted by County Assessor Julie Stinger.
Stinger told the board most changes stemmed from the assessor office’s recent physical reviews and aerial imagery checks; some parcel values changed because buildings were added, removed or reclassified (for example enclosed porches converted to living area or newly discovered detached garages and steel buildings). She said the county did not complete all property reviews before the March 19 assessment date and followed Department of Revenue guidance to finalize reviews and bring county board changes forward for any corrections.
Stinger noted taxpayers would receive notice and have 30 days to protest. Commissioners asked for details on several parcels by parcel ID (examples discussed in the record include parcel IDs 66390.00 and 108509.32) and staff explained cases of partial building valuations and clerical corrections. The board moved to approve the notices as submitted; roll call carried.
What happens next
The county clerk’s office will send notices to affected taxpayers. Property owners who disagree with the new valuations may file protests within the statutory 30‑day window; the board will revisit protested parcels as required.
