Background and Discussion: This stipulation is the result of an agreement reached between the taxpayer and the County regarding a reduction in the amount of property tax owed, settling an arbitration request of taxpayer protest.

Discussion

The following schedule number has been stipulated to (for the tax years 2023/2024):

Petitioner:                      Saar Schnitman

Parcel No.:                     2075-23-1-14-001

Tax Year:                     2023

Original Value $1,525,500                     New Value $1,390,000

 

Alternatives: Let protest proceed to arbitration for a decision.  This would involve unnecessary time and expense for the County and the taxpayer.

Fiscal Impact: Minimal.  Reduction in the amount of property taxes collected for the above listed properties.

 

Alignment with Strategic Plan:

                     Be fiscally sustainable

                     Provide essential and mandated service

                     Be community focused

 

Concurrence: The County Attorney supports the referee’s recommendations.

 

Resolution:  A draft resolution is attached.
