Assessors note building permits and MLS sale to double-check for arm's-length status

The assessor’s office reported recent building activity and flagged one sale for verification.

Staff said there are two new dwelling permits and a permit pulled for a commercial building foundation, bringing the permit total to 14 for the year. "There are 2 new dwellings, and there is was a permit pulled for a new commercial building for the foundation," staff said. Board members noted another new house on the same street and discussed measuring and mapping concerns for some complex properties.

On the sales report, a board member pointed to a listing showing US Bank Trust as seller and asked staff to check whether that sale should be treated as an arm's-length MLS sale. Staff agreed to double-check listing flags and ownership notes before finalizing the LA3 report used in valuation.
