does not have the authority to open any prior year's assessment for taxes due and payable in
2018."

Nelson reported that when it comes to appealing valuations, it is prima facie where the burden is
on the homeowner to prove that the value is incorrect. He stated they welcome any appraisals
that a resident may have.

• 6750 LaSalle Circle NE, 101-110-006040
Nielson and Hawkins felt the valuation was unfair. Their home is quite a few years older, so it
cannot sell as fast as the newer homes that were recently built. Nelson reported that the
valuation goes down by I% per year for homes older than five years. Rasmuson explained that
home owners can appeal at the Wright County level if they disagree with the decisions made by
the Albertville Board. Beyond that, it would move to tax court, so there is a process that can be
followed.
Cocking stated that there is a science to how the appraisers set valuation and it not subjective.
Vetsch felt there is an element of subjectivity involved.
Motioned by Cocking, seconded by Olson, to adjust the valuation of 6750 LaSalle Circle NE to
$435,000. Ayes: Hendrickson, Cocking, Hudson, Olson, and Vetsch. Nays: None. Absent:
