Local Board affirms or adjusts valuations on seven parcels during May 4 hearing
Summary
At the Local Board of Appeal and Equalization, appraiser Michael Smerdon reported negotiated valuations and recommended no‑change determinations on several appeals; the Board approved agreed valuations and affirmed others, preserving owners' right to appeal to the County Board.
The Local Board of Appeal and Equalization met on May 4 and reviewed property valuation appeals for taxes payable in 2027. Hennepin County Appraiser Michael Smerdon summarized the appeal process and presented a list of parcels with agreed valuations and those still under review.
The Board approved agreed valuations for 18056 Shavers Lake Drive ($889,200) and 20425 Summerville Road ($694,100). The Board also reclassified 19760 Lakeview Avenue from Seasonal/Recreational to Non‑Homestead after agreement with the owner. For several other appeals — including 43000 Chimo East, 4220 Jefferson Street, 4240 Jefferson Street, and 20580 Carson Road — the appraiser recommended no valuation changes, and the Board voted to affirm those valuations; property owners retain the right to appeal to the County Board.
All actions taken by the Local Board on these items were carried by unanimous vote. The public hearing was closed and the Local Board adjourned at approximately 6:27 p.m.
