4-30-90 Bd of Review• CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
Council Letter No. 118
Agenda April 30, 1990
Issue Statement:
Convening of the 1990 Board of Review.
Background:
The 1990 Richfield Board of Review is scheduled for Monday, April
30, 1990 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. Cory Bultema were recently appointed to serve on
the 1990 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, 1990. Overall, residential
• property values increased by approximately 2% from 1989 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 ninth 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 provisions of
the law. For example, the Administrative Services Director
verifies that the number of on-site properties appraised for 1990
exceeded 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 1990 assessment is 92.5%. 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.
In March, property valuation notices were mailed to all property
owners showing the 1990 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 225 inquiries have been received to date, as compared
to 250 last year. In addition, 92 property reviews were done by
Assessing staff. Some resulted in adjustments by the Assessing
staff.
To date, the City has received six 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 Monday, April 30, 1990 and conduct the business scheduled for
the Board.
Basis of 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 Monday, April 30, 1990 at
7:00 p.m. as the date and time of the Board of Review
Hearing for 1990.
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 30,
1990. However, if it becomes necessary, the meeting could be
continued to a future date in May.
Respectfully submitted,

HOMESTEAD APPEAL
Applicant does not have a social security number. Minnesota
Statutes now require a social security number to be provided in
order to obtain the homestead classification.
Recommendation: No change
Non-homestead class is mandated by statute unless owner provides
a social security number. (Statute attached)
0
TAXES; LISTING, ASSESSMENT § 273.124
the portion of the property classified as class 1 or class 2a or the value of the first tier of
net -tax capacity percentages provided under section 273.13, subdivision 22, or 23,
paragraph (a), is entitled to assessment as a homestead under section 273.13, subdivision
22 or 23. The limitation in this subdivision does not apply to buildings containing fewer
than four residential units or to a single rented or leased dwelling unit located within or
attached to a private garage or similar structure owned by the owner of a homestead and
located on the premises of that homestead.
If the assessor has classified a property as both homestead and nonhomestead, the
homestead credit provided in section 273.13, subdivisions 22 and 23, and the reductions in
tax provided under sections 273.135 and 273.1391 apply to the value of both the
homestead and the nonhomestead portions of the property.
Subd. 12. Homestead of member of United States armed forces; Peace Corps;
VISTA. Real estate. actually occupied and used for the purpose of a homestead by a
person, or by a member of that person's immediate family shall be classified as a
homestead even though the person or family is absent if (1) the person or the person's
family is absent solely because the person is on active duty with the armed forces of the
United States, or is serving as a volunteer under the VISTA or Peace Corps program; (2)
the owner intends to return as soon as discharged or relieved from service; and (3) the
owner claims it as a homestead. A person who knowingly makes or submits to an
assessor an affidavit or other statement that is false in any material matter to obtain or
aid another in obtaining a benefit under this subdivision is guilty- of a felony.
. Subd. 13. Social security number required for homestead application. Evert prop-
erty owner applying for homestead classification must furnish to the count.; assessor that
owner's social security number. If the social security number is not provided, the county
assessor shall classify- the property as nonhomestead. The social security numbers of the
property owners are private data on individuals as defined be section 13.02, subdivision
12, but, notwithstanding that section, the private data may be disclosed to the commis-
sioner of revenue.
At the request of the commissioner, each county must give the commissioner a list that
includes the name and social security number of each property- owner applying for
homestead classification.
If, in comparing the lists supplied by the counties, the commissioner finds that a
property, owner is claiming more than one homestead. the commissioner shall notify the
appropriate counties. Within 90 days of the notification. the county assessor shall
investigate to determine if the homestead classification was properly- claimed. If the
property owner does not qualify, the county assessor shall notify the county auditor who
will determine the amount of homestead benefits that had been improperly allowed. For
the purpose of this section, "homestead benefits" means the tax reduction resulting from
the classification as a homestead under section 273.13, the homestead credit under section
273.13 for taxes payable in 1989 and under section 273.1398 for taxes payable in 1990 and
thereafter, the taconite homestead credit, and the supplemental homestead credit, and the
tax reduction resulting from the agricultural credit under section 273.132 for taxes
payable in 1989 and under section 273.1398 for taxes payable in 1990 and thereafter. The
county auditor shall send a notice to the owners of the affected property, demanding
reimbursement of the homestead benefits plus a penalty equal to 25 percent of the
homestead benefits. The property owners may appeal the county's determination by
filing a notice of appeal with the Minnesota tax court within 60 days of the date of the
notice from the county.
If the amount of homestead benefits and penalty is not paid within 60 days, and if no
appeal has been filed, the county auditor shall certify the amount to the succeeding year's
tax list to be collected as part of the property taxes.
Any amount of homestead benefits recovered from the property owner must be
transmitted to the commissioner by the end of each calendar quarter. Any amount
. recovered attributable to taconite homestead credit shall be transmitted to the St. Louis
county auditor to be deposited in the taconite property tax relief account. The amount of
penalty collected must be deposited in the county general fund.

Mr. Miller:
I had planned to appeal my estimated market value
of my house at the April 30th, Local Board of Review, but
will be out of town until May 4th. I would like to arrange
another date to meet with the Local Board.
The reason for my appeal, when checking with my
neighbors I found my estimated market value much higher
than their homes. Their homes are newer than mine and the
original cost was higher.
