Commission sets May 12 public hearing on local tax-exemption application for 611 Walnut Street
Summary
The commission scheduled a May 12 public hearing on a tax-exemption request tied to a $125,000 property improvement at 611 Walnut Street. County Attorney Morgan Smith will provide a written memo outlining considerations for commissioners before the hearing.
The commission set a public hearing for May 12, 2026, on an application seeking a local, phased tax exemption for property at 611 Walnut Street; the applicant proposes $125,000 in improvements and requests a multi-year phase-in (50% in year one, increasing to full value over five years). Treasurer Eric Hoiland walked commissioners through an example table showing the effect on the property's tax bills across the exemption schedule.
County Attorney Morgan Smith said she would consult Department of Revenue guidance and provide a written memo about appropriate considerations for the hearing. "I will get you guys a written memo as to what are appropriate considerations at the public hearing," Smith said. The commission approved setting the hearing, noting statutory timelines require the commission to act and that denial or approval will follow after public input and legal review.
