Ward County Board adopts 2026 equalization report, approves city and township valuation adjustments
Summary
The Ward County Board of Equalization adopted the 2026 Resolution and approved recommended true-and-full-value decreases for six cities and multiple townships after a presentation by Director of Tax Equalization Noreen Wilkie.
The Ward County Board of Equalization adopted its 2026 Resolution on June 2, 2026, after hearing a presentation from Noreen Wilkie, Director of Tax Equalization. Wilkie "presented assessments by City Boards of Equalization and recommends a true and full value adjustment" including decreases for the City of Burlington ($25,000), Des Lacs ($4,000), Kenmare ($365,000), Sawer ($14,000), Surrey ($3,000) and Minot ($3,479,000). The motion to approve the city adjustments was made by Comm. Schuler, seconded by Comm. Olson, and passed on a unanimous roll call.
Wilkie also presented township recommendations and the board approved decreases for multiple townships (examples: Afton -$313,000; Denmark -$653,000; Maryland -$542,000; Nedrose -$634,000). The board later voted unanimously to adopt the formal 2026 Resolution and authorized the chairman to sign it. The adoption follows the Office of Tax Equalization's recommendations and concludes the board's formal actions on the presented city and township adjustments.
