Nemaha County Board of Equalization in 2014: exemptions, corrections and protests
Summary
Across 2014 sessions the Nemaha County Board of Equalization approved a range of motor-vehicle tax exemptions for nonprofits, processed numerous tax-list corrections and valuation-change notices, heard dozens of property protests and adopted the county's 2014 tax-rate resolution.
The Board of Equalization for Nemaha County met repeatedly through 2014 to conduct organizational business, hear public exemption requests, approve tax-list corrections and handle property protests. Meetings began with routine roll calls and agenda approvals; Dennis Wittmann was elected chairman and Marvin Bohling vice chairman for 2014.
Board actions included approval of motor-vehicle tax exemptions for multiple local nonprofits (for example, Evangelical Lutheran Good Samaritan Society Home Care: three Chevrolet vehicles, model years 20112012; Hearts United for Animals: a 2014 Chevrolet van; Catholic Social Services: a 2004 Chrysler van), authorization to send Notices of Valuation Change to affected owners, and adoption of numerous tax-list corrections after assessor presentations. The board also adopted Resolution 2014-36, which set tax rates for Nemaha County political subdivisions for 2014.
The board processed outcomes from hearings and appeals handled by the Nebraska Tax Equalization & Review Commission (TERC). In December the board recorded multiple tax-list corrections reflecting finalized TERC decisions for a set of parcels tied to owners including Marvin and Blanche Caspers, Cloverdale Farms and Deer Creek Corp.; corrected tax adjustments ranged from tens to thousands of dollars per parcel.
The board scheduled and conducted protest hearings in June and July, reading many protests into the record and authorizing valuation changes where inspection or evidence supported adjustments. The board recorded motions and roll-call votes for approvals and denials, and adjourned each meeting after completing the posted business.
