Summary
The Nemaha County Board of Equalization voted May 20 to mail valuation notices on June 1 and to update 2026 assessment records for seven parcels after sales, inspections, or clerical corrections; minutes were approved and the meeting adjourned at 10:46 a.m.
Auburn, Neb. — The Nemaha County Board of Equalization voted May 20 to mail Board Notices on June 1 informing property owners of overvalued, undervalued, clerical error and omitted real property assessments, and approved several corrections to 2026 property values.
Chairman Bryan Mellage called the meeting to order at 10:44 a.m. Commissioner Michael Weiss moved to approve the agenda and later moved to approve the May 6, 2026 minutes; both motions were seconded by Mellage and recorded as adopted. The board then approved mailing the notices that will alert owners to valuation changes scheduled to be mailed June 1, 2026.
The board recorded updated or corrected 2026 values for multiple parcels after administrative review and inspection findings. The minutes list the following adjustments:
- Parcel 640035949 (owner: David Moyer): abstract value $0; new requested value $222,778. Reason: property was previously owned by an exempt organization and sold on April 1, 2026.
- Parcel 640007236 (owner: Luke D Andrew): abstract value $0; new requested value $10,664. Reason: property was previously owned by an exempt organization and sold on April 13, 2026.
- Parcel 640006884 (owners: Robert A & Frances I Blecha): abstract value $45,210; new requested value $55,730. Reason: land value was not being included in the assessment.
- Parcel 640055362 (owners: Kimberly L & Lloyd D Buchmeier): abstract value $356,989; new requested value $371,193. Reason: owner failed to report improvements (enclosed space under an addition and decking); record card updated.
- Parcel 640075355 (owners: Christopher J & Amy M Jobe): abstract value $177,855; new requested value $246,535. Reason: owner failed to report improvements (foundation for a new residence); inspection found signs of a heated building (propane tanks) and a yard shed.
- Parcel 640114047 (owner: Terry E Jones): abstract value $4,704; new requested value $0. Reason: a stage had been an improvement on leased land (parcel 640016871) and was found removed during a Pictometry review.
The motions recorded in the minutes list Michael Weiss as the mover and Bryan Mellage as the second on the agenda, minutes and notice-mailing items; roll-call tallies are recorded in the minutes. The adjournment motion was made by Weiss, seconded by Mellage, and the minutes record roll-call votes as Weiss, aye; Mike Hall, aye; Mellage, aye. Earlier in the minutes Hall is recorded as absent due to illness; the document does not explain the discrepancy between his absence noted at the meeting start and the later roll-call entry.
The minutes were certified in writing by County Clerk Diane Johnson at the close of the record. The board adjourned at 10:46 a.m.
