Property Values

Nicollet County Assessor, Doreen Pehrson and her staff are in the middle of the annual board of revue process. This an opportunity for land owners to appeal the value that has been placed on their property by the assessor's office. Ms Pehrson commented to the county board of commissioners this morning, "people think their property values are incorrect. They don't understand that we are using figures from the 2007 and 2008 sales to make our determinations." This is normal for the way assessments are done and there is no way for property values to reflect very recent trends. end
