Commissioners split over Sandstrom parcel; board accepts 2026 value and requests reassessment
Summary
Mark Sandstrom argued his SR180020000000 valuation was too high. After split votes and a failed motion to reduce to 2025 value, the board accepted the 2026 valuation of $1,217,000 and directed staff to reassess the property.
Property owner Mark Sandstrom appeared to contest the 2026 valuation of parcel SR180020000000, saying the property was overvalued because he had not made improvements since construction. The board first voted to approve the 2026 value of $1,217,000 with a 3–2 split (Comms. Schuler, Rostad and Olson yes; Comm. Merritt and Chair Fjeldahl no). Later, the board reconsidered and held additional motions: a motion to reset the valuation to the 2025 amount (1,149,000) failed, and a subsequent motion to accept the 2026 valuation and ask Ms. Wilkie to reassess the property passed. The final action recorded the acceptance of $1,217,000 and a direction to the Office of Tax Equalization to reassess the property.
The exchange included multiple roll-call votes with differing alignments across motions. The board recorded divided opinions on whether an interior assessor review had been completed; because the assessor records and votes were split, the board's final action preserved the 2026 valuation while instructing staff to perform a reassessment and accept any necessary follow-up filings from the owner.
