Brown County appraiser raises inspection process for tribal and land‑in‑trust parcels; county counselor to review law
Summary
Brown County Appraiser Steve Markham asked the board to review the county’s inspection process for tribal and land‑in‑trust properties; County Counselor Austin Parker will examine applicable statutes, federal law and Attorney General opinions and report back.
Brown County Appraiser Steve Markham raised questions about the county’s current inspection process for tribal and land‑in‑trust properties during the June 15 meeting and asked for legal guidance.
Markham’s remarks prompted County Counselor Austin Parker to agree to review relevant state statutes, federal law and Attorney General opinions to clarify the county’s authority and any constraints when inspecting properties held in trust or tribal lands. The minutes record the request and the counselor’s commitment to perform a legal review; they do not include further detail about proposed changes to inspection procedures or timelines for the review.
The board did not take formal action at the meeting beyond directing the legal review; follow‑up will depend on findings from the counselor’s analysis.
