Summary

The Martin City Board of Equalization approved a $292.25 tax abatement for 107 Fifth Ave after a drunk driver rendered the house unlivable on Feb. 10, 2024. The abatement covered the period Feb. 10, 2024 to May 10, 2024 and passed unanimously.

Property owner Barb Kuxhaus asked the Board of Equalization to abate taxes for 107 Fifth Ave (legal: Outlot N ½ of 16) for the period the house was unlivable following a crash on Feb. 10, 2024.

The transcript records that the house was “damaged to the point that [it] was unlivable” after a drunk driver ran into it on Feb. 10, 2024 and that Kuxhaus requested abatement for the uninhabitable period from Feb. 10, 2024 to May 10, 2024. The board approved an abatement of $292.25 on a motion by Council Member Tyler Nollett, seconded by Gloria Claussen; the record states all voting aye.

The action relieves the owner for a portion of the 2024 tax year covering the documented uninhabitable period. The meeting record does not list individual vote tallies by name beyond the unanimous wording.
