Board approves reclassification of O/L 19 parcel from residential to agricultural
Summary
The Martin City Board of Equalization approved a request from property owner Maxine Jacobs to reclassify a roughly 11.9-acre parcel from residential to agricultural, lowering its valuation from $85,982 to $26,079.90. The motion passed unanimously.
Maxine Jacobs asked the Board of Equalization on March 17 to reclassify a parcel described as "Part of O/L 19 approx 11.9 acres" from residential to agricultural, which would reduce its valuation from $85,982 to $26,079.90.
"She would like to have it classified as ag land rather than residential," the record states, noting Jacobs plans to tear down existing buildings and possibly build a house at a later date. Gloria Claussen moved to reclassify the property as agriculture; Randy Kocourek seconded the motion and, with all voting aye, the motion carried.
The change will alter the parcel's assessed value for the 2025 tax year. The board did not record individual vote tallies by name beyond the meeting record that the motion passed unanimously. No appeals on the reclassification were recorded at the time of certification.
