The Marshall County Board of Appeal and Equalization approved a reduction in the assessed value of Parcel 19-0025-000 in Grand Plain Township on June 16, 2026, after the county assessor reported an interior inspection and owner concerns.
Assessor Ryan Larson read a letter from property owner Wyatt Alby outlining concerns about the property’s condition and described findings from the assessment office's inspection: a shifted basement now used for storage and a barn in poor condition. Based on those findings Larson recommended lowering the house grade from D6 to D5 and adjusting the estimated market value from $245,200 to $202,200.
Commissioner Gary Kiesow moved to adopt the assessor's recommendation; Commissioner Sharon Bring seconded. The motion carried unanimously, recorded as 6-0.
The change was processed as an adjustment to the assessor's valuation records for that parcel; no further actions or appeals were recorded in the meeting minutes. The Board continued with other agenda items and adjourned at 7:02 p.m.
