Board of Review
The Board of Review heard three property assessment objections and sided with the assessor on all three. Each challenge ended with a unanimous vote to keep the city’s valuation as-is.
Key Decisions
The board rejected an objection for 1501 Blue Heron Drive and kept the assessor’s value at $457,000, meaning the owner’s assessment (and likely tax bill) stays based on that number.
The board rejected an objection for 2317 Jefferson Street and kept the assessor’s value at $378,100, continuing the city’s valuation for tax purposes.
The board rejected an objection for 419 Highland Court and kept the assessor’s value at $499,000, again backing the assessor’s number unanimously.

Passed 4-0
The board heard three assessment objections and, in each case, voted unanimously to uphold the assessor’s valuation. That’s the practical bottom line for residents: if you challenge your assessment, this board is the gatekeeper—and in this meeting, none of the challenges moved the number. The minutes don’t explain what evidence was presented or why the board agreed with the assessor each time, which makes it hard for the public to judge whether the process was truly persuasive or just procedural.
