Three years ago LB 271 was introduced at the 1999 legislative session. The purpose of this bill was to get government property that is not used by a governmental agency back on the tax rolls. By January 31 a report is submitted to the county assessor on property that is leased and is not being used for a public purpose. Pelland stated in February she sent a cover letter explaining the bill and when the lease information came in, she sent a letter of intent to tax. She only sent letters on property that was reported to her and if party feels it is not taxable property they can protest to the County Board. Then the county board makes a ruling on it. She has picked up 80 parcels of taxable property. These include property owned by the state and its subdivisions, the county, city, Stuhr Museum, the City of Doniphan, and the city school district, the State Department of Education and property at the airport. Lancaster questioned what property was owned by county that will be taxed. County Attorney Jerry Janulewicz stated that the property was acquired by a tax sale and a piece of property that was acquired through the South Locust Street Project that couldn't be sold because it was acquired with federal funds. They will have to work through the regulations to sell this piece of property.
