2004 Valuations

Sales ratio studies compare the assessor's estimated market value to the sales price of the property. Sales from October 2002 to September 2003 were used to determine the 2004 assessor's estimated market value. Minnesota statute requires the assessor to maintain a ration of 90-105%.

The 2004 assessment was completed using the Computer Aided Mass Appraisal (CAMA) system for residential and agricultural property. This system is comprised of market areas and neighborhoods for a uniform assessment. The new construction since 1995 has been valued using the CAMA system.

There were 51 permits for single family homes issued in 2003 in Becker Township. In 2002 there were 53 permits for new homes. There were 164 permits for other buildings issued in 2003. This would include additions, decks, detached garages, and pole buildings.

A sales ratio study of residential improved property in the township indicated a median ratio of 88.9% using 55 sales. The county wide building schedule was increase by 5%. Land values for Becker Township were put into the computer based on the amount of acreage a parcel had. The first acre of residential sites was calculated at $35,000 and any acres exceeding that were calculated at $5,000 per acre. Agricultural sites were calculated at $30,000 for the one acre farm site. We add an additional $7,000 to the land value for the septic system once a house is built on the property. After the changes were made, the adjusted sales ratio for Becker Township is 98.4%.

CHAPTER 243, ARTICLE 5, SECTION 24 ACCESS BY ASSESSOR

Allows property owners to refuse to allow an assessor to inspect their property. The refusal must be verbal or in writing. The assessor may then estimate a property's value by making assumptions believed appropriate concerning the property's finish and condition. If the assessor is refused entry, the local board of review may not adjust the market value or classification in a way that would benefit the property.

Amends Minn. Stat. 273.20 and 274.01, subd 1.

RE: HAZARDOUS BUILDING STATUTE Our File 128485

Dear Ms. Shermak:

As you know, enforcement of all applicable land use regulations is a priority for this Office. To that end, Minnesota Statutes Sections 463.15 through 463.23, commonly referred to as the Hazardous Buildings Statute, provides a fast, effective way to abate substandard structures and unsanitary properties and assess the property for all costs and expenses incurred in bringing the property into compliance. Unfortunately, the Hazardous Buildings Statute, by its expressed terms, may only be employed by "the governing body of any city or town." L interpret this language to mean that, without expressed authorization, this Office is powerless to use the Statute

Jo_ abate hazardous and unsafe structures in unincorporated areas of Sherburne County. --I believe Sherburne County possesses the resources and abilities to enforce the Hazardous Buildings Statute. To that end, enclosed is a Resolution for consideration by your Township Board. If passed, the Resolution would grant Sherburne County the authority to proceed, on the Township's behalf, against substandard properties using the Hazardous Buildings Statute. Our Office, in conjunction with the Sherburne County Zoning Office and the Sherburne County Building Official, would then use the Statute whenever possible to effectively abate unsafe properties located within the Township.

Your consideration is sincerely appreciated. Please bring this Resolution to the attention of the Township Board for consideration as soon as possible. If you prefer, an attorney from this Office, as well as a representative from the Sherburne County Zoning Office, will be happy to personally appear before the Township Board to address all questions or concerns.

Cordially,
