CONSIDER PETITION FOR ABATEMENT OR REFUND OF TAXES AND AUTHORIZE CHAIR TO SIGN- KIRK AND HEATHER KAUMP: Michael Sampson, Assessor's Office, stated the taxes should have been prorated by the closing company,and he recommends denial because a corrected notice of valuation was sent at the request of the previous owner prior to the closing date. Heather Kaump, petitioner, stated the previous owner did receive a corrected tax notice in the amount of$206; however, it did not reflect that the change from residential to vacant land would result in an increase. In response to Commissioner Baxter, Mr. Sampson stated a corrected tax notice was sent prior to the closing and the site was designated as vacant land because at the beginning of 1999, there were no improvements on the parcel. In response to Ms. Kaump, Mr. Sampson stated the site was assessed as residential after the split because it was still owned by the same person and was contiguous to a residential lot; however, once the property was sold, the land no longer met the State law as being residential and was then assessed as vacant. In response to Chair Kirkmeyer, Mr. Sampson stated the assessment ratio for vacant land is 29 percent. Responding to Commissioner Geile, Ms. Kaump stated they did place a home on the site in 1999. Mr. Sampson added the home was not there on January 1, 1999, therefore the property was assessed as vacant for the year of 1999, and will be assessed as residential for 2000. In response to Chair Kirkmeyer, Ms. Kaump stated the modular home was moved onto the property in August of 1999. In response to Commissioner Baxter, Mr. Sampson stated the property has since been changed back to residential because a modular home was moved onto the site in 1999. Ms. Kaump stated the corrected notice that was sent to the previous owner does not reflect the valuation would increase from 9.74 percent to 29 percent. Commissioner Baxter commented the notice was correct regardless of whether the owners understood the valuation amounts or not. In response to Commissioner Hall, Mr. Sampson stated the previous owner requested a corrected notice prior to sale of the property and the closing company did not adequately disclose and prorate the tax amounts. In response to Commissioner Geile, Ms. Kaump stated she has not spoken to the closing company; however, she did speak with the previous owner who did not realize that the assessment ratios for vacant and residential land were different. Commissioner Vaad moved to deny said petition based on the Assessor's recommendation and authorize the Chair to sign.
