TRUTH IN TAXATION HEARING
Finance Director Lannes informed the Council that the city received a video that explains to
taxpayers where the property taxes are allocated in the various areas of government. It points out
the various areas that effect how property taxes are calculated and where property taxes are
designated for use; such as state, county, schools, and city. Finance Director Lannes went on to
review the change in Market Value from 2002 to 2006.
Mayor Peterson asked if there was anyone present that wanted to speak to the Council regarding
their 2007 property tax statement.
Michael Potter approached the Council bringing it to the Council's attention that his property,
with a PID of 101-800-062200 un-platted land, valued at $96,900 in 2006 went up in value by
about 87.3 percent. According to the 2007 Property Tax Statement it was valued at $175,000.
City Administrator Kruse stated that the concern or question Mr. Potter had regarding how did
the value go up 87.3 percent should be presented to the Board of Review. The Board of Review
generally meets in May of the calendar year.
In the interim, City Administrator Kruse suggested that Mr. Potter to discuss this matter with the
Wright County Assessor's office, located in Buffalo.
