Visitor questions property tax increases, leaves meeting before discussion concludes
Summary
A visitor, David Storm, questioned large increases in his home and business property taxes and raised concerns about valuation differences in Barrie Township; commissioners directed him to Wahpeton city assessors and the discussion ended when he left the meeting.
During public comment at the Aug. 6 Richland County meeting, visitor David Storm said he came to the courthouse to pay property taxes and expressed frustration at what he described as a large increase in his tax bill for both his Wahpeton property and his business. He also questioned why a property in Barrie Township appeared to be assessed differently.
Commissioner Perry Miller and Commissioner Tim Campbell responded that Wahpeton uses its own assessor and that mill levies differ across townships, which can produce different tax bills. The exchange ended when Storm walked out of the meeting before it concluded.
