Richardson County Board of Equalization finalizes 2026 property valuation protest determinations

The Richardson County Board of Equalization on July 15, 2026 voted to finalize the values determined for property valuation protests filed for 2026, approving BOE totals of $2,279,822 for the parcels on the meeting list.

Chairman John Caverzagie moved to finalize and approve the values determined on the 2026 Property Valuation Protests; the motion was seconded by Commissioner Karas and carried by roll call (Karas—aye; Campbell—aye; Caverzagie—aye).

County Assessor Kim Riggs and board members reviewed individual protest forms. For example, the board approved the assessor’s value of $87,154 for Pamela J. Fulbright rather than the protestant’s requested $68,554; two parcels owned by Robert Olberding were approved at $101,560 and $78,374 respectively. Other upheld values included $156,255 for Mark and Lisa Uhri and $190,714 for Robert Scott Hollens. In one case the board set Francis C. Simmonds’s parcel at $55,445, below the assessor’s listed 2026 value but above the petitioner’s requested amount.

The meeting record shows the protests’ combined original listed column totals of $2,289,019, the protesters’ requested total of $1,913,947 and the BOE column total of $2,279,822 for the items on the list. The board’s action finalizes those figures for the parcels included on the agenda.

The board took the vote after reopening and completing review following a brief recess earlier in the session. No public testimony or further appeals were recorded in the meeting minutes for these items. The board will include the finalized values in the county’s tax-roll records and assessments for 2026.
