Council Letter No. 106
Agenda April 29, 1992
Issue Statement:
Convening of the 1992 Board of Review.
Backgrounds
The 1992 Richfield Board of Review is scheduled for Wednesday,
April 29, 1992 at 7:00 p.m. in the Council Chambers of City Hall.
As provided by City Charter, the Board of Review consists of the
Mayor, Council Members and two citizens appointed by the City
Manager with confirmation by the City Council. Mr. Lawrence
Emond and Mr. Glenn Erickson were recently appointed to serve on
the 1992 Board of Review.
The duties and responsibilities of the Board of Review are
established by state law. In general, it is the Board's
responsibility to hear appeals by property owners from the
Estimated Market Values established by the City Assessor and to
determine if market values should be adjusted. The appeals
typically concern market values rather than tax rates or other
concerns which property owners may bring up to the Board.
Each parcel of property in Richfield has had an Estimated Market
Value (EMV) set as of January 2, 1992. Overall, residential
property values decreased by approximately .2% from 1991 values.
Properties which were physically reappraised received reductions
and increases, but were generally increased. Properties which
were not physically reappraised received statistical adjustments
based on the characteristics of the property and a computer
assisted assessment.
For the eleventh year, the Richfield property assessment has been
conducted through a contract with Hennepin County which is
supervised by the Administrative Services Department. Staff
works closely with the Hennepin County property appraisers to
ensure that the local assessment complies with the provision of
the law. For example, the Administrative Services Director
verifies that the number of on-site properties appraised for 1992
exceeds the standard (25% of total properties in the City)
established by law.
In addition, the median ratio (comparing Estimated Market Value
to sales price) for Richfield's 1992 assessment is 92.523%. The
County Auditor's suggested level of assessment (median ratio) for
all municipalities in Hennepin County is 92.5%. Thus, the
Richfield local assessment is on target with comparable Hennepin
County communities.
On March 26, 1992, property valuation notices were mailed to all
property owners showing the 1992 Estimated Market Value. The
notices advised property owners to contact the City Assessor's
office regarding any questions or to schedule an appearance
before the Board of Review if the property owner desired to
challenge the EMV. About 150 inquiries have been received to
date, as compared to 410 last year. In addition,. 40 property
reviews were done by Assessing staff. Some resulted in
adjustments by the Assessing staff.
To date, the City has received four notifications of appeals to
the local Board of Review. All of these individuals indicated
that they will appear before the Local Board. -
A list of the property owners who are appealing their EMV is
attached to this Council Letter.
Any adjustments made by the Richfield Board of Review will be
recorded on the property assessment rolls. After appearing at
the Local Board, property owners may subsequently appeal to the
Hennepin County Board of Review, and then to the State Board of
Review and/or the State Tax Court.
Recommended Motion:
It is recommended that the Board of Review convene at 7:00 p.m.
on Wednesday, April 29, 1992 and conduct the business scheduled
for the Board.
Basis for Recommendation:
1. State Statute and City Charter mandate a Board of Review
• Hearing each year to be conducted before May 31.
2. The City Council has established Wednesday, April 29, 1992 at
7:00 p.m. at the date and time of the Board of Review Hearing
for 1992.
3. Notice of the Hearing has been published and posted pursuant
to law.
Alternative Recommendation:
None.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
The Hearing is likely to be conducted and completed on April 29,
1992. However if it becomes necessary, the meeting could be
continued to a future date in May.
