Various County Officials joined us for the Budget Workshops that were held in North Platte and York. The workshop was a great opportunity to learn about roles county officials play in regards to budgets, budget communication with other officials as well as the public and leadership strategies that help foster responsible financial decisions. Go to our Twitter or Facebook page to see pictures from the Workshop.
This year, the Legislature passed LB512, which includes provisions for the reassessment of real property suffering significant damage as a result of natural disastrous event. The damage must exceed 20% of an improvement’s assessed value, 20% of land’s assessed value, or 20% of a parcel’s assessed value, if the property is located in an area the Governor has declared a disaster area and a housing inspector or health inspector has determined the property is uninhabitable or unlivable. Persons owning real property qualifying for reassessment must file a report, Department of Revenue Form 425, with the county assessor and county clerk on or before July 15 of the year in which the disaster occurs.
