Real Property Tax director seeks state reporting change to exclude Land Bank parcels; corrected rolls approved
Summary
Real Property Tax Director Karen Ambroz told the committee that including Land Bank parcels in state reporting is contributing to projected school district shortfalls; she has discussed modifying the reporting system with the State and scheduled a meeting with assessors. The corrected tax rolls resolution was approved 5‑0.
Real Property Tax Director Karen Ambroz explained to the Finance Committee that several school districts are facing projected shortfalls because Land Bank parcels are currently included in the state's reporting calculations. Ambroz said she has spoken with the State about modifying the reporting system so Land Bank parcels are no longer included and scheduled a meeting with assessors to reduce similar discrepancies going forward.
The committee approved a resolution authorizing corrected tax rolls 5‑0. Ambroz framed the change as a reporting clarification intended to prevent funding discrepancies; the minutes do not record whether the State accepted a formal change request or an expected timeline for a systems adjustment.
