SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN:
A RESOLUTION ENCOURAGING THE CARVER COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
TO REVALUE ALL LANDS WITHIN CARVER COUNTY IN ORDER TO CREATE A
LEVEL OF ASSESSMENT CONSISTENT WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE
MINNESOTA DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE
WHEREAS, at a meeting of the Carver County Board of
Commissioners on November 29, 1982 it was stated that the
Minnesota Department of Revenue requires that all land be
assessed between 85% and 90% of its market value as established
through sales: and
WHEREAS, it was also stated that the average ratio of
assessed value to market value for township agricultural land
between between July l, 1980 and June 30, 1982 was 73.9%: and
WHEREAS, the same ratio for residential property in the muni-
cipalities of the county over the same period of time was 92.1%,
while the ratio for residential property in the townships was
79.6%.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED That the Mayor and City
Council of the City of Chanhassen believe that:
l. All classes of property throughout Carver County should
be assessed consistently with the State requirements.
2. There should not be the inequity in ratio of assessed
value to market value for the various classes of property
in Carver County as was demonstrated from July l, 1980 to
June 30, 1982.
3. The Carver County Board of Commissioners is empowered and
obligated to take the necessary action to raise and/or
lower the assessed value of property within the County to
ensure that no property is assessed at a rate lower than
85% nor higher than 90% of its market value.
