Re: Letter to Commissioner Miron
Background:
As was discussed at the Board of Appeal and Equalization, Scandia property owners are seeing a
significant increase in their valuations this year following a decrease last year. These wide
swings in valuations are due in part to the limited sales data the County uses to help compute
values each year.
Issue:
Should the enclosed letter be sent to Commissioner Miron?
Proposal Details:
Draft of the letter is included in your packet.
Fiscal Impact:
NA
Options:
1) Approve the letter as written
2) Amend and then approve the letter
3) Do not send a letter to Miron
Recommendation:
Option 1.
