Mercer County Commission approves equalization of assessments after public hearing
Summary
After a public hearing June 3, 2026, the Mercer County Commission approved the county's Equalization of Assessments and changes to appealed properties, adjusting the combined assessed total presented by staff.
The Mercer County Commission on June 3 approved the county's Equalization of Assessments following a public hearing at the Mercer County Government Center in Stanton.
Vice Chairman Jamee Folk opened the meeting at 9:00 a.m. and the commission recessed and reconvened later in the morning to hold the Equalization hearing. Tax Director and Land Use Administrator Jennifer Neumiller explained the Century Code process governing equalization and summarized Vanguard Appraisals' assessment work in the county. Vanguard representative Ryan Ehli answered commissioners' questions about the assessments.
Staff presented a parcel-by-parcel list of appealed and reviewed properties. The packet showed an original combined total of $7,688,330 and an adjusted total of $6,887,260 across the listed parcels; several entries were marked “ADJUSTED LISTING INFO” and others “NO CHANGE.” After calling for public comment on the assessments, Vice Chairman Folk reported that no one spoke during the hearing.
Commissioner Gene Wolf moved to approve the Mercer County Equalization of Assessments and the appealed-property changes as presented; Commissioner Steve Guenthner seconded. Commissioners Wolf, Guenthner, Casey Voigt and Folk voted aye and the motion carried. The commission closed the hearing at 10:39 a.m. and resumed regular business.
The action updates parcel listings and formalizes the assessment adjustments as presented in the meeting packet; the minutes do not record additional conditions or appeals outcomes beyond the listed parcel actions.
