Ackerman, Councilmember Att Hudson, Deputy Clerk CITY SEAL ouncilmember Vern Heidner, Councilmember Farms - Changes made in 1994 The State put a 10% increase on farm land,this was done pretty much county wide The increase was put on the market value, so it will not have a big effect on the tax dollar The green acre value changed a little also, A land went from $1,030060 per acre to $1 $i,, B land went from $890 per acre to $ acre to $ 900 600 C land went from $630 per In the past the farm house and garage weres given a 15% reduction in value for tax pure os The out buildings also got a 15% reduction in value. Now the house and garage no longer get the 15% reduction, the out buildings still get the reduction. This is on farms that have 40 acres or more. As you can see this can make a big increase in value. There is oam 5%h increase on the house, this is pretty county wide. Sample--- house- $75000 Garage- $5000 Total- $80000 X85% $68000 value for 1994 assessment House- $75000 X5% increase for 1995 assessment $78750 Garage- $5000 Total- $83750 Value for 1995 assessment,tThe is a $15750 increase over last years reason this 15% increase was put on all at one time and not phased in is that it was not phased in when it was taken off. By doing this it will get our estimated market value closer to the selling price, and hopefully the state will not give us another increase for some time.

There was one sale this ye is why there was some changes made. The sale was for $220,000 and I had it valued at $137,900, or 63%of what it sold for.We do not usually like to work with only one sale, but this sale showed us that something had to be done. this area will be watched for further changes New houses - Pole sheds - Other Schools -- Total -- BUILDING PERMITS 43 6 75 1 125 There were 132 sales in 1994,this includes bare land sales,improved lot sales,and farm sales. This pretty much covers what was done in 199,5. It takes a lot of time to go over the sales and data that is collected in order to come up with a fair dollar amount to arrive at a fair estimated market value. The county assessors office does a lot of this work for us, but we do help with and work with them and try to keep the values fair through out the county. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the Otsego city council for their support in the past and now. It makes my job a lot easier knowing that we can sit down and talk in order to come up with a solution to a problem, should one come up.
