HALL COUNTY ASSESSOR/REGISTER OF DEEDS <br /> 121 South Pine Street,Suite 1 <br /> Grand Island,NE 68801-6099 <br /> Phone: (308) 385-5050 Fax: (308)385-5059 TDD:(800) 833-7352 <br /> Janet Pelland Barbara Stoddard <br /> Assessor Deputy Assessor <br /> November 13,2015 <br /> Virginia Hickey <br /> 115 Asteroid Ct <br /> Alda,NE 68810 <br /> Dear Virginia: <br /> Your letter mailed to Marla Conley, Hall County Clerk, in reference to the valuation on your <br /> property was forwarded on to me. The valuation increase and the tax rate decrease referred to in <br /> the article you attached to your letter are two completely separate situations. The valuations are <br /> set by my office prior to March 19th each year in compliance with State Statute. Those values are <br /> then certified to the political subdivisions in August every year and used in the calculation of the <br /> tax rates based on the amount of valuation available and the budgets set for each entity. <br /> Land values had not been addressed for a number of years in the villages and the City of Wood <br /> River and were all increased this year. Unfortunately, since you have a sizable lot,your property <br /> received a larger increase. According to State Statute,residential property is supposed to be <br /> valued at 100%of market(total value). If you feel this is not the case in your situation, I would <br /> recommend that you file a protest again in 2016 on that basis. Since fmal action has already <br /> taken place on the 2015 protest, nothing further can be done for this year. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Jan Pelland <br /> Hall County Assessor/Register of Deeds <br /> 121 S Pine, Suite 1 <br /> Grand Island,NE 68801 <br />
