Michael Wolford, county equalization director, presented the 2026 Monroe County equalization report and recommended equalizing local units as assessed. Wolford read the countys equalized value aloud as $10,988,355,660 and detailed class changes: agricultural up 7.51%, commercial up 7.09%, industrial up 4%, residential up 6.42%, and personal property up 1.9%.
Wolford said the tentative taxable value increase across the process was 44.2% and contrasted that with a 2026 CPI of 2.7%. After questions from commissioners there were no objections and the board approved the equalization report on roll call.
The approval directs county staff to submit the equalized values to the state for the state-equalized-value calculation process.
