Yale District resident questions 40% reassessment, warns of hardship for neighbors on fixed incomes
Summary
Catrina Turnbull of the Yale District asked the Board why reassessment was 40% and said such an increase would create problems for neighbors on set incomes who might struggle to pay higher taxes.
During the Citizens' Comments period, Catrina Turnbull (Yale District) raised questions about the reassessment process and the size of the change being discussed by the Treasurer and staff. Turnbull asked, in essence, "why 40%?" and warned that such an increase would create difficulties for neighbors living on fixed incomes.
Turnbull's comment was brief and framed as a public appeal for the Board to consider the reassessment's impact on vulnerable taxpayers; the Treasurer had earlier discussed that staff used a conservative 20% modeling assumption for the FY27 budget. The Board did not take action during Citizens' Comments but the remark was recorded in the minutes for consideration as budget work continues.
