BOARD OF REVIEW
April 9, 1998
Albertville City Hall
7 :00 PM
PRESENT: Councilmembers Robert Gundersen, Duane Berning and
John Vetsch, City Clerk Linda Goeb, Wright County Assessor Douglas Gruber
and City Assessor Greg Kramber
Acting Mayor Berning called the Board of Review meeting to order.
Assessor Greg Kramber eXplained that there were 36 sales in the City in
1997 that were used as a basis for assessing market value. For 1997, assessed
values in the City of Albertville were 91.7% of the actual sales, in compliance
with Minnesota State law.
.
Kramber further explained that land values in the City were left basically
the same as last year. Building values were increased 4-5%; commercial values
were increased approximately 10%; and ag land values were increased to $7,500
per acre.
Harry Weber, owner of the Security State Bank of Maple Lake-Albertville
Branch temporary site, had previously met with the Wright County assessors to
discuss the evaluation of this property (PID #101-500-363402). The assessor
proposes to adjust the evaluation of the Weber property to $23,600 on the land
($0.72 per square foot) and $5,600 on the building. The trailer used as the
temporary bank building will be treated as personal property and the bank will pay
the taxes itself.
Gundersen made a motion to approve the assessor's recommendation and
adjust the land value and building values to a total of $29,200 on PID #101-500-
363402. Vetsch seconded the motion. All voted aye.
.
Ken Tieman questioned the value on one of the three lots he owns.
Kramber explained that the 50' x 150' parcel (PID #101-018-000040) was
assessed at $6,300, the same as last year. The parcel is taxes as residential
homestead, since it is used as a portion of the yard. Tieman owns three parcels
total and the house sits on one parcel, the garage is one parcel and the remaining
parcel is yard. The three parcels together are assessed at a total of $21,400, and
the house is valued at $69,100. Kramber feels the valuation is fair.
