of 2 Abatement Policy Adoption

MEMORANDUM

To: Blue Earth County Board of Commissioners Robert Meyer, County Administrator

From: Michael Stalberger County Assessor/Deputy Director, Taxpayer Services

Date: May 6, 2015

Subject: Adoption of Taxpayer Services Abatement Policy

The attached Taxpayer Services Abatement Policy is the culmination of interactions with the County Board at work sessions November 25, 2014, and May 5, 2015, to consider and draft a formal policy. I have completed the formal policy based on the direction from the Board. The policy has not changed materially from its draft state – except for addition of an annual summary of abatements as requested by the Board. I respectfully request the board take formal action to adopt the Taxpayer Services Abatement Policy with an effective date for the delegation of authority as of any abatement in progress as of May 12, 2015. What follows is a very high level summary of the most salient points of the policy. Please review the entire policy or the informational memorandum provided at the May 5, 2015, work session for more detail. Policy Statements

Blue Earth County considers and grants abatement consistent with Minnesota Statutes. Abatements are only considered and may be granted as they relate to taxes payable in the current year and

the two prior years for documented cases of hardship or clerical errors. Abatement policy provisions and procedures, as well as standards for approval, are defined in this policy

and are applied consistently and equitably to all taxpayers. This policy does not include economic development tax abatements authorized in Minn. Stat. Chapter 469.

Delegation of Authority

The Blue Earth County Board of Commissioners delegates its authority to grant abatements under this policy to the authorized officials responsible for the duties necessary to administer the abatements.

The delegation is authorized for abatements that result in a refund of no more than $10,000. If the abatement generates a resulting credit or refund exceeding $10,000, County Board Action is required. The County Board delegates its authority to approve all disaster abatements to the County Assessor. Any abatement denied under the delegated authority is considered final.

General Statements

All applications for abatement must be accepted and considered The County does not charge an application fee for abatement. Any abatement is considered and denied if the resulting credit or refund is less than $10.00. Abatement is considered a last resort when no other solution is possible. Abatements are not used only as a means to reduce conflict or controversy. The definitions of hardship and clerical error as stated in this policy are applied consistently. The Taxpayer Services Department promptly acts on abatement applications so interest is not paid.

49

of 2 Abatement Policy Adoption

Abatement Policy Provisions:

There are six categories of abatement, each requiring proof of clerical error or hardship: valuation, classification, exemption, homestead, disaster and penalty/interest/cost.

In most instances of hardship, the abatement applies to only the current tax year. Applications for abatement are accepted from the property owner or a party with an obligation or financial

interest related to the payment of the property taxes. If an application for abatement is approved and the property has late or delinquent property taxes that are

the responsibility of the applicant, the proceeds of the refund are applied to reduce the tax balance due before a refund is issued.

Prohibits application to reduce, abate or refund any special assessment made or levied by any municipality for local improvement until the municipality previously approves such reduction, abatement or refund.

Maintains that property owners have shared responsibility regarding finding and correcting errors during the statutorily-allowed Local and/or County Board of Appeal processes.

Maintains that abatement is not granted solely on the basis of a property selling below the Assessor’s market value without evidence of error or supporting evidence and hardship.

Maintains that failure to receive a valuation notice or tax statement does not constitute a basis for abatement without substantiating hardship or clerical error.

Maintains that forgetting to pay property taxes on time does not constitute a basis for abatement of penalty, interest or cost without substantiating hardship.

Documents process for abatements over $10,000: requires staff approval, jurisdiction notification and County Board action.

Describes process for Commissioner of Revenue abatement for more than current and prior two years. Defines important concepts associated with abatements, including: clerical error, data error and hardship. Differentiates between a clerical error, which is an error made in the performance of clerical, non-

judgment, duties and is eligible for abatement as opposed to a data error which is an error in the data utilized by the county when it is the best information generally available and it has been applied consistently. Data errors are not abatement-eligible.

50

of 6 Taxpayer Services Department Policy: Abatements

Taxpayer Services Policy: Abatements

Presented to the Board for Adoption: May 12, 2015

This policy ensures all taxpayers and property owners in Blue Earth County are treated

fairly and equitably and have equal access to and consideration for abatements.

Abatements are generally corrections of clerical errors in classification or valuation,

adjustments due to isolated disasters such as fires, or forgiveness of penalties or interest

associated with tax payments.

POLICY STATEMENT/PURPOSE

Blue Earth County considers and grants abatement of property values, classifications, taxes, penalty, interest and

costs consistent with Minnesota Statutes. Abatements are only considered and may be granted as they relate to

taxes payable in the current year and the two prior years for documented cases of hardship or clerical errors.

Abatement policy provisions and procedures, as well as standards for approval, are defined in this policy and are

applied consistently and equitably to all taxpayers.

This policy does not include economic development tax abatements authorized in Minn. Stat. Chapter 469.

DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY

The Blue Earth County Board of Commissioners delegates its authority to grant abatements under this policy to

the authorized officials responsible for the duties necessary to administer the abatements subject to this policy.

The delegation is authorized for abatements for any corrections or changes that result in a refund or credit to the

applicant of no more than $10,000. The County Board shall receive an annual update summarizing abatements

approved under this delegated authority.

If the abatement generates a resulting credit or refund in excess of $10,000, County Board action is required.

The County Board delegates its authority to approve all disaster abatements authorized in Minn. Stat. 273.1231

through 273.1235 to the County Assessor regardless of resulting credit or refund amount provided the Assessor

applies the standards set forth in statute. In instances of wide‐spread disaster, County Board action may be

required.

The County Board delegates its authority to approve abatement of late current year tax payments authorized in

Minn. Stat. 279.01 pursuant to the Taxpayer Services Department “Late Tax Payments” administrative policy.

Any abatement denied under the delegated authority to the Taxpayer Services Department is considered final.

GENERAL STATEMENTS

Market value and property classification are defined by statute and are determined as of the assessment date

annually. Minn. Stat. 375.192, the applicable abatement statute:

Authorizes the County Board to grant a reduction or abatement of estimated market valuation or taxes,

and costs, penalties or interest on the late payment of tax or on delinquent taxes.

Restricts consideration for abatement approval to the current tax year and the prior two years in the

cases of hardship or clerical error.

51


Allows the County Board to delegate any authority, power or responsibility assigned to the Board for

granting a reduction or abatement to the County Auditor.

All applications for abatement must be accepted and considered and the County does not charge an application

fee for abatement. Any abatement is considered and denied if the resulting credit or refund is less than $10.00.

Abatement is considered a last resort to correct assessment errors in valuation or classification when no other

solution is possible. Abatements are not to be used only as a means to reduce conflict or controversy.

The definitions of hardship and clerical error as stated in this policy are applied consistently by Taxpayer Service

Department staff in considering whether abatements are approved.

The Taxpayer Services Department promptly acts on abatement applications and does not pay interest on any

refunded amounts. In applying for abatement, the applicant acknowledges no interest will be paid.

ABATEMENT POLICY

Abatement is considered a last resort to correct assessment errors in valuation or classification when no other

solution is possible. They are not to be used only as a means to reduce conflict. Granting approval to abatements

is discretionary to each County, but the County must allow any applicant to submit a request. The application

must be in writing in a prescribed format.

There are six categories of abatement:

1. Valuation: Valuation abatement is based on market value and requires applicant proof of a clerical error

(not data error) that impacts the Assessor’s valuation of the property or a proof of a hardship precluding

the applicant from appealing the valuation through normal processes when there is no clerical error.

2. Classification: Classification abatement, excluding abatement for Homestead, is based on use of the

property as defined by statute and requires applicant proof of a clerical error (not data error) in the

Assessor’s determination of classification or a proof of a hardship precluding the applicant from appealing

the classification through normal processes when there is no clerical error.

3. Exemption: Exemption is predicated on statutory requirements related to qualifying ownership and

property use and can only be granted according to statute. In order for an exemption abatement to be

approved, the applicant must prove clerical error (not data error) of the Taxpayer Services Department or

a hardship precluding the applicant from making application and qualifying for exemption as provided for

in law.

4. Homestead: Homestead is a classification requiring ownership and occupancy within statute‐specific

dates and timely application also according to statute. In order for a homestead abatement to be

approved, the applicant must prove clerical error (not data error) of the Taxpayer Services Department or

a hardship precluding the applicant from making application and qualifying for homestead as provided for

in law.

5. Disaster: Abatement for isolated disasters as authorized in Minn. Stat. 273.1231 through 273.1235 can

only be granted according to statute. The Taxpayer Services Department proactively attempts to notify

potentially qualifying applicants for disaster abatement however final responsibility for disaster

abatement application lies with the applicant.

52


6. Penalty/Interest/Cost: Minnesota Statutes dictate the collection of penalty, interest or cost for property

tax payments. Current tax year abatement applications are accepted for penalty only. Prior tax year

applications are accepted for penalty, interest or cost. Abatement of penalty/interest/cost are considered

according to the current Taxpayer Services Department “Late Tax Payments” administrative policy. That

policy is based on postmark date, hand‐delivery date, payment processing workload and special‐

circumstance hardships. Abatement due to hardship requires substantiation of inability to pay taxes

timely. In instances where clerical error results in a wrong earlier due date, any incurred

penalty/interest/cost is abated up to the correct later property tax due date.

Any approved abatement in the above six categories applies at maximum to the current tax year as defined in this

policy and two prior tax years if substantiated each of those years. In most instances of hardship, the abatement

applies to only the current tax year.

Routinely, a clerical error (not data error) that results in abatement for valuation, classification or exemption is

discovered during the period of time provided in law for Local and/or County Board of Appeal and Equalization.

During that period of time, the current tax year for purposes of this policy is the year of the application. Once the

Local and/or County Board of Appeal processes are no longer available, the current tax year is the year after the

year of the application.

Applications for abatement are accepted from the property owner or a party with an obligation or financial

interest related to the payment of the property taxes. Applicants can be the party that originally paid the property

taxes subject to the abatement or that is currently responsible for paying the property taxes, whichever scenario

is applicable. Applications must be completed fully. Any private, confidential or non‐public data will be protected

by Taxpayer Service Department staff during processing of the application.

Applicants for abatement are encouraged to pay the full amount of the tax, and any penalty, interest or cost while

the abatement application is pending. If the abatement is denied, the applicant will be responsible for any unpaid

tax along with any penalty, interest or cost that have accrued. A refund will be issued to the taxpayer if the

abatement results in an overpayment of tax. The Taxpayer Services Department notifies the applicant of the

application’s disposition.

If an application for abatement is approved and approval results in refund, the refund is processed as promptly as

practicable. In instances when the property has late or delinquent property taxes that are the responsibility of the

applicant, the proceeds of the refund are applied to those late or delinquent property taxes before a refund is

issued. In instances when a refund is due, payment is made to the party making application unless provisions are

made to provide refund to payees based on original payments made and now reduced and resulting in refund.

Any resulting refunds are mailed.

In consideration of applications received by the Taxpayer Services Department, staff consistently applies all

provisions of this policy. Specifically, department staff:

Adheres to all applicable statutory provisions.

Applies this policy’s definitions of hardship and clerical error.

Considers but then denies all applications if the resulting credit or refund is less than $10.00.

53


Prohibits application to reduce, abate or refund any special assessment made or levied by any

municipality for local improvement until the municipality previously approves such reduction, abatement

or refund.

Maintains that property owners have shared responsibility regarding finding and correcting errors during

the statutorily‐allowed Local and/or County Board of Appeal processes.

Maintains that abatement is not granted solely on the basis of a property selling below the Assessor’s

market value without evidence of error, supporting evidence such as a recent arm’s length sale or valid

appraisal, and supporting evidence of hardship as stated in this policy.

Maintains that failure to report changes in ownership for personal property does not constitute a basis

for abatement without substantiating hardship or clerical error.

Maintains that failure to receive a valuation notice or tax statement does not constitute a basis for

abatement without substantiating hardship or clerical error.

Maintains that forgetting to pay property taxes on time does not constitute a basis for abatement of

penalty, interest or cost without substantiating hardship.

Notifies the Commissioner of Revenue of abatements as required by statute.

If the abatement generates a resulting credit or refund in excess of $10,000, County Board action is required.

These abatements first require approval by both the County Assessor and the authorized delegate of the Taxpayer

Services Department Director. In the case of abatement of penalty or interest only in excess of $10,000, the

application must first be approved by the authorized delegate of the Taxpayer Services Department Director.

After receiving applicable staff approval, the Taxpayer Services Department gives twenty (20) days’ notice to the

school board and municipality in which the property is located in accordance with statute before presenting the

abatement to the County Board. Additionally, the County Board does not reduce, abate or refund any special

assessment made or levied by any municipality for local improvement unless the municipality previously approves

such reduction, abatement or refund.

The Taxpayer Services Department notifies the applicant of the application’s disposition. Any abatement requiring

County Board action that is denied is considered final.

While Blue Earth County abatement policy is limited to a maximum of the current tax year and two prior tax years

in accordance to law, the Commissioner of Revenue has limited authority in Minn. Stat. 270C.86 to grant

abatement for additional years. The Commissioner considers abatements for situations involving errors made by

government officials or when there is no other method to rectify unjustly or erroneously applied property taxes.

As policy, the Commissioner does not consider abatements for an error in acreage amount, building size or value

or the existence (or not) of a building. The Commissioner has historically maintained that there is a shared

responsibility between the counties and the taxpayers in terms of finding and correcting errors within the given

time limit. The Taxpayer Services Department Director considers taxpayer requests for application to the

Commissioner of Revenue to determine if application is appropriate.

ABATEMENT PROCEDURE

Procedures are maintained by the Taxpayer Services Department. Department staff consistently applies

abatement procedures to all applications.

DEFINITIONS

Abatement: A reduction in valuation, taxes and/or diminution of penalty, interest and cost on taxes not paid by

the due date.

Applicant: The property owner or an individual with an obligation or financial interest related to the payment of

the property taxes. Applicants can be the party that originally paid the property taxes subject to the abatement or

that is currently responsible for paying the property taxes, whichever scenario is applicable.

Assessment Date: Statutory date on which the County Assessor determines market value and classification.

Classification Error: An error in application of the statutory description of property classification according to type

and use of property.

Clerical Error: An error made in the performance of clerical duties, such as data entry, transcription, computer

system errors by the county or by county business partners, coding, transposition or mathematics which causes

erroneous classification, erroneous valuation or late payment of tax. It does not involve judgment, but it may

involve the failure of a governmental entity to perform a ministerial act related to the assessment of property.

Failure of the United States Postal Service to deliver a tax payment is clerical error only where the Service admits

such error. A data error is not a clerical error.

Current Tax Year: Current year of the application in which property taxes are payable. For valuation, classification

or exemption abatements, if the Local and County Board of Appeal processes are no longer available, the current

tax year is the year after the year of the application.

Data Error: An error in data the County is utilizing. A data error is not a clerical error when the County is relying on

that data as the best information generally available to it and has not committed a clerical error in the application

and use of that data in its work. Provision of new information after the assessment date does not create a clerical

error, even in instances when that information results in a change of valuation or classification due to updated

parcel or improvement characteristics, such as crop equivalency ratings (CERs), acreage amounts or land use

designations.

Disaster Abatement: A reduction of taxes on property that has been accidentally or unintentionally damaged due

to a disaster that renders property uninhabitable or unusable, and the damage is at least fifty (50%) percent of the

structure value. These requirements are established in statute.

Hardship (Personal): Any event or circumstance beyond the control of the applicant which precludes the applicant

from filing for a reduction or an adjustment of the value or property taxes according to the typical processes or in

a timely manner for property not owned by an entity. Examples of a hardship include, but are not limited to, a

tragedy or casualty suffered by the applicant (such as a death of the property owner or taxpayer or relative,

extreme or extended illness or medical condition, mental incapacity, accident, fire or other extreme hardship). In

the case of abatement of penalty/interest/cost, the hardship must be the direct cause of the late payment of tax.

Claims of a lost check hardship must be accompanied by a copy of a dated stop payment order filed with the

applicant’s bank. Financial hardship – or inability to pay – does not fall within this definition. Lack of control of the

property at the time of the assessment and resulting tax subject to the abatement does not constitute a hardship.

55


Hardship (Entity): When property is not owned by an individual, hardship does not apply unless documentation is

also presented that demonstrates that no other persons, such as associates, partners, consultants, accountants or

authorized agents other than the applicant are involved in or have responsibility for property tax matters. If

documentation is presented, then the other provisions of a Hardship (Personal) must be met.

Market Value: Market value is the estimated amount property would sell for if it were to be sold in an arm's

length transaction as determined by the County Assessor on the applicable assessment date.

Ministerial Act: A government action performed according to legal authority, established procedures or

instructions from a superior, without exercising any individual judgment.

Penalty/Interest/Cost: The dollar amount specified by Minnesota law that is over and above the originally

calculated tax, paid by a taxpayer for which abatement is sought. Current tax year applications are accepted for

penalty only. Prior tax year applications are accepted for penalty, interest and cost.

Relative: A relative for purposes of this policy applies only to Hardship (Personal) and is limited to grandchild, child

or parent of the property owner or the spouse of the property owner.

Todd Jakes

DATE OF CONTACT:

April 27, 2015

LOCATION:

South half of Section 14 and the north half of Section 23 of Lincoln Township on the Bruce Hatch property

PROBLEM: We have 9 blowouts on the Bruce Hatch property. Our maps for this part

of CD 56 are not correct so changes will be made to the maps as the actual location and size of the county tile is determined.

61


Page 2 of 3


It appears two of the blowouts are not on county tile. Considering the problems we have with our CD 56 maps, I will verify if they are private or public tile. Four of the blowouts are on tile that was replaced in 2002. I am requesting to do some exploratory digging to find out what is causing the excessive amount of tile failure.

MEMORANDUM

To: Blue Earth County Board of Commissioners As Blue Earth County Drainage Authority

From: Craig Austinson Ditch Manager, Taxpayer Services

Date: May 12, 2015

Subject: Resolution for LCCMR Grant

BACKGROUND We received LCCMR funds for a demonstration project on CD 57 that was constructed in 2011. The primary purpose of the project was to reduce peek flows reducing downstream flooding. As part of the grant we received funding for three years of monitoring. The monitoring was primarily set up to verify the impacts of the temporary water storage. We also monitored the reduction in nutrients and suspended solids. The monitoring results regarding the flow rates were slightly better than expected and the monitoring results regarding the reduction in nutrient loads were much better than expected. These results prompted several groups and agencies to request additional monitoring for at least three more years. The additional monitoring will include the use of better, more sophisticated equipment and would address concerns and other factors that may be affecting the results. ACTION REQUESTED Please sign the attached Resolution in support and acceptance of the role as fiscal agent recipient of the potential funding dollars awarded by this grant for the continuation of monitoring the Blue Earth County Ditch 57 System for flow and water quality.
