Kenneth A. Tolzmann, SAMA <br /> Centerville City Assessor <br /> March 9, 2014 <br /> City of Centerville <br /> 1880 Main St. <br /> Centerville, Mn 55038 <br /> Attn: Mr. Dallas Larson, Admin. <br /> Re: 2014 Pay 2015 Property Tax Assessment. <br /> Dear Mr. Larson, <br /> It has come to my attention that the City's overall market value as submitted and <br /> accepted by Anoka County, has been updated on a County level from an overall market <br /> value of $282,190,912 as originally submitted, to $296,495,221. This represents an <br /> overall increase in market value of 12.8% over the pay 2014 assessment rather than the <br /> 7.4% increase as originally presented by Anoka County. <br /> In discussion with County officials, It is my understanding that this change was necessary <br /> to meet current Minnesota Department of Revenue standards. Specifically, the sales ratio <br /> process that has been utilized by Anoka County in the past to track all real estate sales <br /> information countywide, does not meet Revenue Dept. standards, in that no provision for <br /> time adjustment had been applied. It is my understanding that the necessary changes are <br /> in the process of being made to bring the County into compliance. <br /> That being said, how will these changes affect the City? On one hand, your seeing a <br /> considerable growth in the overall tax base of the City. On the other hand, I expect an <br /> increase in taxpayer inquiries and /or reviews of market value as a result of these increases <br /> to market values. <br /> As always, I am available to answer any questions, or provide additional information you <br /> may need. I can be reached in my office at 651464-4862 or my cell at 612 865 -2149. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Kenneth A. Tolzmann, SAMA #1939 <br /> Centerville City Assessor <br /> Telephone/Fax 651464-4862 Email: Kentolzkaol.com <br /> 24738 Hamlet Ave. N. Forest Lake, MN. 55025 <br /> 31 <br />
