Brooklyn Park Board of Appeal and Equalization accepts assessor valuation agreements, sets reconvened appeals hearing for April 22
Summary
The Brooklyn Park Board of Appeal and Equalization unanimously approved 11 assessor valuation agreements covering properties with adjusted market values and scheduled a reconvened appeals session for April 22, 2024. Several property owners addressed the Board and the assessor said provided lists would form part of testimony.
Mayor Hollies Winston, chair of the Brooklyn Park Board of Appeal and Equalization, called the meeting to order on April 8, 2024, and the board unanimously approved valuation agreements the assessor recommended for properties with recent adjustments to 2024 market values.
City Assessor Tracy Bauer-Anderson gave a summary of the 2024 property valuation process, covering how estimated market value is calculated, sales and ratio analyses, quintile inspections and how assessed-value changes affect tax calculations. “The list they provided to the Board would be part of the owners’ testimony and documentation,” Bauer-Anderson said as she read the list of owners who filed appeals.
Several property owners addressed the board in person, including Robin Kozar (3100 Brookdale Dr. N.), Emile Nguimfack (4600 85th Ave. N.), Pavel Koltsov (10356 Quail Cir. N.) and Yelena Kurdyumova (7212 72nd Lane N. #217). Bauer-Anderson also read a longer set of addresses for owners who had filed appeals but were not present.
Council Member Maria Tran spoke on behalf of 7335 Zane Ave N., saying inspectors had visited the property and that documentation of the work would be provided to the assessor’s office.
The assessor read 11 valuation agreements completed within the 10-day review window, showing original 2024 market values and recommended adjustments. Examples recorded into the record included: 6471 102nd Ave N., adjusted from $494,700 to $486,900; 6771 Boone Ave N., adjusted from $2,520,400 to $2,200,000; and 7409 Kentucky Ave N., adjusted from $457,400 to $433,800.
Board Member Boyd Morson moved and Nichole Klonowski seconded a motion to accept the City Assessor’s valuation agreements dated between March 30, 2024, and April 8, 2024. Chair Winston called a roll-call vote; the motion passed unanimously with yes votes recorded by Council Members and Board members Maria Tran, Nichole Klonowski, Xp Lee, Christian Eriksen, Boyd Morson, Tony McGarvey and Mayor/Chair Hollies Winston.
Council Member Christian Eriksen moved and Council Member Xp Lee seconded a motion to reconvene the Board on April 22, 2024 to continue review of appealed properties and any supporting documentation. That motion also passed unanimously on a roll-call vote.
Chair Winston recessed the meeting at 6:54 p.m.; staff will compile documentation provided by property owners and present it when the Board reconvenes on April 22, 2024.
