SSS
2019
assessment
report,
and

we

our
City

Patrick
Todd.
To
present
this
report
to
us,
so
hey
Patrick,.
B
Thank
You
mr.
chair
committee,
members,
Patrick
Todd,
Minneapolis,
City
Assessor.
Thank
you
for
allowing
us
some
time
to
present
the
information
that
we
just
finished
compiling
for
the
2019
assessment.
This
is
very
timely.
This
is
very
market
specific
and
timely
in
the
sense
that
valuation
notices
should
be
in
the
mail
they're
currently
at
the
printers
they'll
be
delivered
this
week,
and
we
expect
to
see
evaluation
notices,
maybe
as
early
as
Friday
but
for
sure
the
first
part
of
next
week.
B
First
of
all,
I
want
to
just
thank
a
couple.
People
like
in
fact,
I
need
to
actually
inch
with
me.
I
do
have
with
me,
is
Rebecca
mom
post
is
the
director
of
the
assessor's
office.
I
also
have
Denise
Ling
wall
she's,
a
residential
supervisor.
I
have
Saraya
Garnett,
who
hooli
who's,
also
another
residential
supervisor
and
Nancy
LoJack,
who
is
our
manager
of
assessment
services?
B
None
of
this
report
could
have
been
done
without
them.
I
actually
is
and
presenting
all
their
work
for
the
most
part.
So,
and
I
really
appreciate
that
this
assessment,
the
2019
assessment,
is,
after
taking
a
look
at
we've,
actually
reevaluate
125,000
parcels
for
2019.
This
reassessment
was
really
based
on
inspecting
25,000
properties,
thereabouts,
which
is
called
our
Equalization
by
statute.
We
have
to
look
at
20%
of
the
city,
it's
verifying
and
validating
around
five
to
six
thousand
sales.
B
We
really
dug
into
a
lot
of
what
was
going
on
to
get
a
better
understanding
to
make
sure
we're
really
using
market
transactions
and
having
a
good
information
on
you
know,
what's
sold
what
was
the
characteristics?
What
were
the
conditions
and
things
like
that?
Bad
information
is
bad
information
out.
It's
also
looking
at
thousands
and
thousands
of
permits
you
you
know.
B
In
our
assessment
we
always
have
to
do
a
permit
ad,
and
then
we
calculated
as
a
marker
going
up
when
we
subtract
out
the
new
improvements,
so
my
staff
are
spending
working
with
in
Elms
and
trying
to
extract
out
every
permit.
That's
going
to
be
adding
value
and
by
adding
value
it's
really
does
add
value,
does
not
change
value
or
there's
a
subtract
value.
Sorry
they're,
taking
a
look
at
something
that
was
wrecked
so
and
these
numbers
that
aren't
be
presenting
aren't
finalized.
B
They
won't
be
finalized,
probably
till
June,
and
the
State
Board
does
finalized
their
assessment,
but
they're
really
really
close.
There's
things
like
combinations
of
divisions
that
would
not
be
in
here
utility
values
which
are
state
assessed,
values
they're
not
in
here
yet,
but
we're
it's.
It's
really
a
well.
We
would
consider
our
final
product
with
a
few
small
exceptions
for
the
most
part,
one
hundred
twenty-five
thousand
parcels.
The
valuation
notices
are
going
out.
The
values
that
we're
giving
today
are
actually
the
basis
for
the
2020
taxes
a
lot
of
times.
B
B
That
shows
the
copy
of
the
valuation
notice
on
how
Hennepin
County
addresses
that
it'll
be
helpful
and
then,
last
but
not
least,
the
sales
period
that
we
based
our
2019
assessment,
really
starts
in
October
of
17
in
conclude,
September
of
18,
so
we're
always
considered
historians
where
I
was
looking
to
see
what
happened
and
then
establishing
values
as
of
January
2nd
based
on
what
was
going
on
in
the
past.
Not
what's
going
on
in
the
future.
That
is
statutorily
is
undefined
for
us.
B
So
and
it's
not
like
we've
blinders
on
is
we
see
things
change
then
we
jump
on
that.
But
for
the
most
part
we
really
focus
on
what
happened
and
then
establishing
the
assessment
overall
tax
base
growth
from
2015
to
2019.
We
had
about
40
million
dollars
or
40
billion
dollars.
Excuse
me
in
2015,
from
between
15
to
16,
we
went
from
40
to
43,
which
is
about
an
eight
point:
eight
percent
growth
from
16
to
17.
B
It
went
up
to
47
billion
17
to
18
52,
and
then
today
it's
around
55
point
1
billion
between
15
and
16.
It
was.
We
were
averaging.
Eight
point:
eight,
nine
percent,
nine
point:
six
percent
this
recent
year
from
18
to
19
we
pulled
back
I
would
say
we
pulled
back,
but
the
market
showed
us,
it's
probably
not
as
heated
as
it
was
so.
Our
overall
tax
base
growth
is
about
5.2
from
18
to
19,
so
interesting
statistic
when
we
break
it
down
by
property
type
grouping.
This
is
kind
of
interesting.
B
So
when
we
look
at
the
city
of
Minneapolis,
we
have
60.
Percent
of
our
tax
base
is
green,
which
is
a
residential.
If
you
look
at
the
blue,
the
upper
right
hand,
quadrant
21.8%
is
our
commercial
industrial
tax
base
and
then
the
orange
is
at
17.5
and
that's
our
apartment
tax
base.
So
we're
overwhelmingly
our
a
residential
city.
When
we
look
at
tax
capacity,
where
do
we
generate
our
tax
tax
dollars?
You,
let's
take
a
look,
and
actually
it's
interesting.
B
So
we
have
a
six
to
sixty
percent
of
our
tax
base
is
residential
but
of
the
tax
property
tax
burden.
They
pay
forty
eight
percent
of
the
tax
base.
When
we
look
at
the
the
commercial
the
commercial
is
at
twenty.
One
percent
of
our
tax
base
is
commercial
industrial,
yet
their
tax.
The
tax
capacity
bringing
in
taxes
is
that
thirty
four
point,
five
eight
and
then
last
but
not
least,
would
be
the
apartments
they
were
at.
B
Who
pays
less,
and
this
is
really
shows
how
that
plays
out
when
you
start
applying
at
times
the
value
so
we're
gonna
get
into
a
little
bit
more
of
a
some
statistical
data
for
the
next
few
slides.
So
we're
gonna.
Look
at
the
residential
assessment
for
2019.
We
break
it
up
by
the
major
categories
that
we
would
feel
are
major
categories,
an
iminium
double
bungalow,
single-family,
triplex
and
townhouses.
B
You
can
see
what
we
had
for
2018
values
and
wherever
we
went
up
in
2019.
How
much
of
that
was
new
construction
and
then
the
last
column
is
the
net
change,
which
is
we
subtract
out
all
the
new
construction,
because
we
want
to
just
see
what
was
proper
growth
and,
if
you
add
new
construction,
that's
really
not
growth
that
wasn't
organic
or
market
driven.
That's
you
know
could
be
anything
really.
So
we
subtract
out
the
new
construction
and
then
our
column
is
you
know
if
you're,
if
you're
in
your
board,
you
have
condominiums.
B
C
You,
mr.
chair,
can
you
just
clarify
for
me
what
you
mean
by
residential
versus
what
you
mean
by
apartment
in
the
previous
slide,
I'm
just
I'm,
trying
to
make
sure
I
understand
what
because
I
consider
apartments
to
be
residential,
so
I,
just
I'm
sure
I,
know
what
we
mean
these
these
in
the
green
part.
B
What's
in
the
orange
part,
sure
threw
the
chair
councilmember
Fletcher,
the
residential
we
would
class
and
is
really
statutorily
defined,
and
it's
it.
These
are
really
broken
down
by
the
classification
rates,
so
anything
less
than
four
units.
The
statute
would
say,
you
know
you
know.
Residential
is
one
two
three
and
anything
more
than
three
three
or
more
is
apartment
and
then
all
of
a
sudden,
the
classification
changes.
So
even
though
they
are
residential
in
nature,
they're
uses
residential
to
being
used
for
housing.
B
The
number
of
units
are
actually
driven
is
the
the
primary
factor
on
that.
So
a
good
example.
If
we
had
two
duplexes
on
one
lot,
that's
actually
gonna
be
an
apartment
that
would
have
an
apartment
classification
cuz.
You
have
four
units,
you'll
have
a
single-family
home
and
a
triplex.
That
now
follows
goes
from
a
single-family
into
a
an
apartment
classification.
So
it's
all
driven
by
the
number
of
units,
so.
C
C
D
Or
family
and
consumer
fletcher's,
so
it
would
be
defined
as
how
many
units
are
on
a
parcel,
so
each
condominium
unit
has
its
own
parcel
number
and
therefore
it
is
considered
residential.
Now,
if
we
had
an
apartment
building,
it
would
be
an
entire
apartment
building
on
one
parcel,
therefore,
it
would
have
more
than
four.
Therefore,
we
classified
as
an
apartment.
Okay,.
B
B
So
if
we
dig
a
little
bit
deeper
into
statistics,
these
statistics
that
we're
going
to
be
going
through
over
the
next
couple
of
days,
they're
they're
measures
that
are
measuring
the
overall
assessment,
not
only
in
the
quality
of
the
assessment,
but
the
uniformity
and
whether
it's
a
regressive
or
progressive
assessment.
These
metrics
are
gonna,
be
you'll,
be
seeing
these
going
forward,
because
these
are
probably
the
best
indicators
for
measuring
what
we
do.
B
It's
also
what
the
Department
of
Revenue
uses
to
measure,
whether
we're
doing
everything
correctly
and
uniformly
and
by
statute
it's
also
the
metrics,
are
we
using
in
our
sales
rate
or
an
under
sales
ratio
in
our
results,
Minneapolis
report.
So
these
are
numbers
that
again,
these
are
near
and
dear
to
our
heart,
but
it's
also
what
you're
going
to
be
following
our
progress
going
forward.
So
so,
when
we're
looking
at
the
sales
ratio,
statistics
for
Ehrlich
condominiums,
we
had
1369
sales
last
year.
B
So
when
we
look
at
the
median
sales
ratio
of
all
those
sales,
which
is
the
ratios,
is
the
relationship
between
the
estimated
market
value
divided
by
the
sale
price
comes
up,
whether
the
ratio
of
where
your
assessment
is,
you
take
all
of
those,
and
you
come
up
with
a
median
ratio,
that's
95.7,
so
and
by
statute.
We
need
to
be
between
90
and
95,
and
so
right
when
we're
looking
at
kind
of
minutes
of
townhouses.
We
know
that
we're
pretty
rock-solid
on
those
values.
We
had
a
it's
called
a
coefficient
of
dispersion.
B
The
coefficient
of
dispersion
is
measures.
The
uniformity
of
the
assessment
and
a
CEO
do
below.
15
is
ideal
and
and
right
now,
if
you
take
a
look
at
the
kind
of
million
threats,
seven
and
a
PR
D,
which
is
a
price
related
differential,
that's
measures
the
whether
that
property,
whether
our
properties,
are
either
progressive
or
regressive
and
I'll.
B
Just
read
you:
what
an
assessments
considered
regressive
if
the
high
valued
properties
are
relatively
under
assessed
compared
to
the
low
valued
properties
and
on
the
on
the
reverse
of
progressive,
is
the
high
vague
properties
are
relatively
over
assessed
or
over
bagged
compared
to
the
low
valued
properties?
So
we're
measuring
making
sure
that
we're
really
uniform
that
how
we
treat
the
the
Lord
guide
properties
are
the
same
as
how
we're
treating
the
upper
bracket
homes
and
all
the
way
through
the
stratification
evaluation.
So
when
we
take
a
look
at
that,
but
you
know
so.
B
B
Analyzing
the
data
we're
getting
into
more
of
the
nitty-gritty,
I
think,
there's
also
a
number
of
things.
I
wanted
to
point
out
that
are
a
really
important.
One
is
I
think
that
the
markets
also
a
little
bit
more
stable
than
it
was.
We
saw
some
really
turbulent
times
coming
out
of
the
foreclosure
market.
We
also
finding
that,
when
we're
doing
we're
doing
a
better
job
of
validating
the
sales,
so
it's
better
information
is
resulting
in
a
better
assessment.
B
We're
also
I'm
also
hiring
really
smart
people
that,
when
we
get
turnover,
I'm
really
impressed
with
with
these
people
that
were
able
to
hire
now
and
last
but
not
least,
it's
having
enough
staff
to
do
good
work
and
I
really
mean
that,
because,
over
the
last
few
years,
you've
been
generous
to
provide
us
with
more
staff
and
the
more
time
we
have
the
more
staff
we
have.
The
better.
B
When
we
take
a
look
at
where
we
are
as
far
as
value
changes-
and
this
is
near
and
dear
I'm
sure
to
a
lot
of
the
council
members
in
our
overall
relatively-
are
in
our
overall
residential
market
changes,
we
had
less
than
see
its
point.
Four
eight
actually
saw
values
go
down,
so
less
than
1/2
of
1%
saw
a
reduction
in
their
values
in
our
residential
tax
space
for
2019
for
twenty
five
point:
eight
percent
of
the
residential
properties
in
Minneapolis
odd,
no
change
in
their
values
at
all.
B
So
what
those
they're
in
eighteen
is
what
they
have
they're
in
nineteen.
If
you
take
a
look
at
the
green,
we
have
sixteen
point:
seven,
which
is
something
greater
than
zero
but
less
than
five,
and
then
you
get
into
twenty
eight
percent
or
the
goal
they
should
say
goes
5
to
2
up
to
nine
nine
point,
nine
and
then
again,
if
almost
20
percent
went
from
10
percent
up
to
15
and
then
greater
than
20
is
a
seven
point.
Six.
B
The
red
now
is
one
point.
Four
six
and
then
the
15
to
19
is
seven
point
six
percent.
So
you
kind
of
see
you
know
not
everyone,
everyone
says
well,
you
know
this
just
erases
values
every
year
and
values
never
go
down;
actually
they
do
go
down,
but
for
the
most
part
we
held
values
we're
in
those
neighborhoods
in
those
values
where
our
ratios
were
right
at
where
we
felt
the
market
is
and
then
in
those
areas
where
we
felt
that
the
sales
are
still
indicating
that
our
assessed
value
is
still
too
low.
B
E
B
B
Mr.
charrier,
you
are
right,
absolutely
Awards,
four
and
five
are
seeing
some
of
the
most
seeing
some
of
the
larger
statistical
increases.
I
would
not
say
that
they
have
the
largest
dollar
increase,
but
none
statistically
they're
going
up,
because
the
values
of
their
homes
are.
If
you
take
a
look
at
the
average
median
value
and
I
can
actually
see
the
next
slide.
B
B
C
Thank
You
mr.
chair
I,
wanted
to
dig
a
little
deeper
into
that
question,
because
it
feels
a
little
bit
alarming
to
see
data
that
basically
the
wards
with
the
largest
concentrations
of
people
of
color
are
the
wards
that
are
experiencing
the
greatest
property
increases.
We've
had
a
lot
of
conversations
about
gentrification
but
I
think
we're
looking
at
a
map.
C
So
I
guess
I'm
curious
to
hear
your
analysis
about
why
you're
finding
what
you
found
is
there
a
relationship
between
the
huge
number
of
appeals
that
happened
in
the
sort
of
turquoise
quadrant
of
13
there
last
year?
Is
this?
Is
this
really
is
our
appeals
process
sort
of
subject,
or
is
our
assessment
process
sort
of
subject
to
people
being
able
to
aggressively
game
the
system
by
making
a
lot
of
appeals,
and
are
we
seeing
a
reflection
of
the
places
that
people
don't
make?
C
Those
appeals,
as
often
seeing
valuation
gains
now,
is
the
message
that
should
be
sent
as
the
people
in
Ward
4
need
to
get
over
to
your
office
complain
or
how
do
you?
How
do
you
talk
us
through
this,
because
this
feels
a
little
bit
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
understanding
this
data?
Well,
okay,.
B
Through
the
chair
council,
member
Fletcher,
very
good
question
very
good
question,
the
there's
a
couple
I
think.
Sometimes
this
map
is
doesn't
tell
the
whole
story,
I
think.
If
we
looked
at
this
map
over
a
series
of
five
years,
that
would
be
more
telling,
because
I
would
think
that
I
from
my
knowledge
that
some
of
these
areas
have
been
increased
significantly
I
think
it's.
These
maps
are
data
driven.
This
is
what,
when
we
take
a
look
at
sales
prices
to
our
cess
today,
these
are
measuring.
How
close
are
we
in
these
areas?
B
Where
we're
seeing
no
change
our
assessed?
Values
are
what
people
are
paying
for
those
particular
properties.
So
it's
there's
I
can't
tell
you
that
I
mean
the
gaming
of
the
system,
because
it's
data-driven
and
based
on
sales.
It
it's
not
based
on
or
there's,
there's
no
correlation
between
the
number
of
appeals
that
we
had
of
the
local
last
year,
which
I
would
agree
that
probably
there
was
a
significant
number
of
people
that
had
appealed
out
award
13.
B
But
again
we
we
still
based
on
sales,
said
we
looked
at
enough
sales
in
that
war
to
say:
there's
no
reason
for
us
to
move
those
days
up.
There
was
no
reason
to
move
them
down,
we're
right
where
that
market
is
today
so,
but
as
far
as
your
other
question,
wouldn't
we
were
you're
referring
to
in
some
of
these
areas
of
of
color.
If
you
know
these
changes
in
color,
the
changes
from
year
to
year
are
really
a
reflection
of
what
a
willing
seller
is
going
to
part
with
and
what
a
willing
buyer
is
paying.
B
For
that.
You
know
it
would
be
more
interesting
to
see.
Homestead
data,
you
know,
are
the
people
that
are
purchasing
these
things
homesteaders
or
are
they
non
owner
occupants?
I
think
that
would
be
a
more
interesting
statistic
to
track,
rather
than
the
fact
that
somebody
else
is
paying
more
and
I
think
that
building
wealth
we
talk
about
building
wealth
in
in
Minneapolis
and
an
increase
in
your
market
value
is
building
wealth.
So
I
wouldn't
necessarily
think
it's
always
a
negative
to
see
an
increase,
but
forget
today,
I
guess
to
get
to
the
core
question.
B
But
data
is
telling
us
that
people
are
buying
these
homes
in
these
areas
and
are
paying
more
significantly
more
than
what
we
have
assessed
at
today.
So
but
I
would
have
my
staff
I
would
be
absolutely
happy
to
sit
down
with
any
and
all
the
council
members
to
have
a
deeper
dive
to
make
sure
that
there
isn't
any
errors
with
the
data
and.
B
So
these
are
the
aggregate
changes
by
community
I.
Think
you're.
This
kind
of
gets
to
the
same
question
that
you
might
have.
It
could
be
an
alarming
statistic.
You
would
find
that
in
Ward
5,
and
let
me
just
let
me
go
to
the
next
slide,
because
I
think
this
is
fairly
self-explanatory,
where
those
numbers
are
changing
significantly.
Just
because
of
where
we
had
the
division
on
the
dark.
Blue
was
10
or
greater
and
you'd
see
that
in
in
Ward
5.
B
It
was
at
ten
point
nine,
two
so
depending
if
we
would
have
cut
it
at
11
and
they
would
have
all
been
the
same
color,
but
in
how
we
stratified,
which
colors
we're
gonna,
represent
how
much
change
that
makes
community
number
five,
which
is
councilmember,
Allison's
area.
Look
just
I
should
say,
stand
out
more
than
the
others,
and
it's
I
think
it's
just
because
it's
off
by
just
it's
just
a
hair
into
the
next
color
range
is
all
you
want.
Okay
clinic
run,
okay,.
D
Chairborne
Sammy
and
constant
over
Fletcher,
if
I
could
just
further
speak
to
your
question
about
the
percent
of
increase
in
those
areas.
So
when
we
begin
our
assessment
process
and
you've
got
revaluation,
we
look
at
where
our
starting
point
is,
and
we
look
at
that.
That's
sales,
information
and
the
sales.
They
show
that
number
that
we
keep
mentioning
that
percentage
number
with
the
lowest
in
those
areas.
So
we
knew
that
the
market
had
to
come
up.
The
values
had
to
come
up
most
in
those
areas.
D
Now,
if
we
sit
back
and
then
we
would
look
back
at
the
adjustments
that
we've
made
last
year,
you
will
see
that
there
were
larger
increases
down
in,
let's
say,
Ward
13
and
like
the
Southwest
community,
we
had
larger
increases
down
there
last
year.
So
it's
really
when
the
where
the
markets
moving
throughout
the
city
at
different
times
are
different
during
different
years.
So
that's
why
we
were
seeing
bigger
increases
in
wards
four
and
five
or
the
near
north
community
and
Camden
communities
this
year.
Thank
you.
B
B
We
do
when
we
take
a
look
at
what
the
information
that
they're
providing
to
the
general
public
and
the
real
estate
professionals
and
brokers.
They
said
that
in
Minneapolis
specific
for
real
estate
for
residential
real
estate,
that
the
median
sales
price
median
sale
price
is
265,
which
is
eight
point,
eight
percent
over
what
the
median
was
in
January
2nd
of
2018.
B
The
current
asking
price,
the
sale
price
is
at
a
hundred
percent
still
now,
when
you
break
it
down
by
transaction,
not
everyone
is
at
a
hundred
percent,
but
on
a
median
that
the
price
of
people
are
listening
for
is
what
they're
getting
from
still
today,
and
that
was
the
exact
same
number,
as
was
back
in
2018.
We
look
at
number
of
days
in
the
market.
The
the
typical
property
is
on
the
market
21
days
before
it
sells
last
year.
B
A
F
B
Through
the
chair,
councilmember
Palmisano,
my
understanding
of
that
month,
number
of
months
supply
they
take
the
number
of
properties
currently
listed.
They
look
at
on
the
average
how
many
sales
are
occurring
each
month
and
they
go
well
based
on
how
much
inventory
we
have,
if
we
don't
add
to
it
and
we're
currently
absorbing
X
number
per
month.
B
B
B
We're
just
gonna
jump
into
the
commercial
assessment.
We
are
commercial
assessment,
we
overall
and
commercial.
We
went
up.
We
saw
4.15
growth,
that's
not
including
new
construction,
that
is
just
the
market
changing
or
appreciating
from
eighteen
to
nineteen,
and
when
we
look
at
the
industrial,
we're
up
three
point:
eight
one
percent,
not
including
new
construction,
and
when
we
look
at
those
same
metrics
that
we
were
looking
at
residential,
we
apply
those
same
metrics
across
the
board,
regardless
of
property
type.
B
We
had
81
commercial
sales,
our
median
sale
price,
our
median
sale
ratio
was
ninety
six
point:
eight
we
had
a
co
d
of
13
and
a
PR
d
of
103,
and
you
can
see
that
the
goal
is
line
under
the
CEO
D
is
under
24,
the
Tod
and
the
PR
D
is
between
97
and
103,
the
based
on
statistical
data.
They
would
say
that
the
fewer
the
sales
you
have,
the
more
skeptical
or
the
more
suspect
those
numbers
are.
B
So
when
you
look
at
the
industrial,
PR
D
and
you
would
say,
110,
it's
not
too
alarming
that
when
you
only
have
8
sales
in
a
city,
this
large
they're,
probably
not
as
uniform
and
uniformity,
is
what
they
four.
So
overall,
when
we
combine
the
commercial-industrial,
we
had
a
total
of
89
sales
and
we
have
a
hundred
and
3.3
in
this
in
the
PRD
and
a
96.3
in
the
median,
though
one
of
the
last
property
types
is
the
apartments.
B
So
we
went
up
seven
point:
eight,
seven
percent
overall,
not
including
new
construction,
and
when
we
take
a
look
at
the
sales
ratio
statistics,
we
had
116
apartment
sales
in
18,
ordering
that
sales
period
we
had
an
overall.
Ninety
four
point:
three:
nine
overall
sales
ratio
from
apartments
our
CEO
D
was
at
ten
and
our
PR
D
is
101
again,
very,
very
good
statistics
when
the
department
revenue
looks
at
the
quality
of
our
work
overall.
Thank
you.
We.
C
B
B
And
that,
for
the
most
part,
concludes
our
number
crunching
for
the
presentation.
I'll
just
do
a
couple
more
slides
and
then
we're
done
for
the
day,
the
Department
of
Revenue
and
thought
the
vermin
I
haven't
a
Kennebec
County
produces
the
tax
statements
and
then
does
the
tax
collection,
but
in
our
evaluation
notices
this
year,
B
they
put
this
way.
They
color
coat
values
a
year
after
year.
So
last
year
was
red.
This
year's
purple.
B
So
when
you
look
at
the
valuations
notice,
when
you're
looking
at
the
treatment
taxation
later
on
this
year,
and
when
you
look
at
the
text
even
next
year,
if
they're
all
going
to
be
purple,
so
when
we
get
evaluation,
notices
go
out,
they're
gonna
receive
a
purple
and
when
they
get
their
tax
statement,
this
year's
gonna
be
red.
My
staff
are
into
now
that
they
say
you
know
which
tax
Donna
so
you're.
B
Looking
at
well,
it's
red
well
you're,
trying
to
compare
your
purple
statement,
which
is
today's
value
with
today's
taxes,
which
we
need
to
go
grab
your
red
valuation
statement,
and
we
can
then
have
this
conversation
because
it's
really
difficult.
It's
a
very
difficult
concept
to
understand
so
kudos
to
Hennepin
County
for
now
color
coding,
every
one
of
them.
So
you
can
consistently
follow
from
your
values,
your
treatment,
taxation,
to
your
actual
tax
statement
and
again
they
should
be
hitting
that
front
doors
shortly.
B
Your
color
coded
please.
This
is
the
opportunity.
Our
office
information
is
on
every
one
of
those
notices,
the
appraiser
responsible
for
that
area.
It
printed
right
there
so
when
they
that
people
call
taxpayers
Collier
constituents
call
it's
going
right
to
the
person
that
can
answer
that
question
and
again
anytime.
You
get
somebody
calling
directly
to
you.
We
hope
that
you
send
them
our
way.
B
That's
really
what
we're
here
for,
and
there
are
resources
on
our
website
as
well,
for
people
to
do
some
looking
up
of
sales
in
their
area,
tax
calculations
and
things
like
that,
as
well
as
we
worked
with
the
City
Clerk's
office
to
develop
a
new
online
application
for
the
local
board
to
get
people
in
the
process
more
seamlessly
and
efficiently,
and
and
so
that
nobody
gets
dropped
key
dates.
So
we
have
our
local
board
that
convenes
on
April
3rd.
So
between
now
and
April
3rd,
as
soon
as
those
valuations
are
gonna,
be
heating.
B
The
door
people
I
have
three
to
four
weeks
to
look
at
their
value,
make
any
phone
calls
either
to
my
office
or
to
real
estate
professional,
to
figure
out
if
that
value
seems
fair
and
reasonable,
and
they
make
a
determination
on
whether
they
want
to
go
to
the
local
board
or
not
like.
Then
we
have
a
reconvene
on
May
7th
and
then
the
Hennepin
County
has
their
Board
of
Appeals
June
7th.
B
The
last
slide.
This
shows
next
year's
assessment.
So
this
is
a
handy
tool
just
because
long
before
the
local
boards
are
done.
Locking
long
before
the
county
boards
are
done,
my
staff
will
have
finished
their
work
and
will
be
off
doing
door,
knocking
and
equalization,
and
so
the
Department
of
Revenue
requires
us
to
do
20%
of
the
city,
and
so
we
haven't
mapped
out
which
year
we'll
be
doing
it.
B
So
if
you
have
any
questions
or
if
this
is
where
phone
calls
are
coming
from
your
lifetime,
you'll
have
a
good
understanding
of
why
certain
neighborhoods
are
maybe
more
vocal
with
the
phone
calls
and
with
that
I
stand
for
any
any
new
questions
other
than
that.
I
also
want
to
say
thanks
to
really
my
staff,
who
did
outstanding
work,
my
both
might
the
residential
staff,
who
have
so
much
work
to
do,
and
then
the
leadership
team
that
keeps
it
all
together
and
holds
all
the
analysis
and
tells
me
what
to
say
so.
Thank.
F
Thank
You
mr.
chair
mr.
Todd,
there's
no
longer
the
4th
Ward
4
councilmember
here.
So
let
me
try
to
be
proactive
and
harness
a
question
that
might
be
coming
from
him,
often
in
areas
where
you
see
dramatic
change,
so
this
year
increase
those
increases
seem
to
be
in
words
four
and
five
in
terms
of
single-family
homes.
F
E
F
Who
are
concerned
about
their
property
values
to
have
more
information,
some
of
the
same
information
that
you
have
and
can
can
better
see
how
the
city
is
making
their
decisions.
Yeah
I
know,
there's
an
implementation
timeline
for
such
a
program.
Could
you
give
us
a
sense
of
where
you
are
in
that
and
when
our
customers
or
City
residents
might
be
able
to
go
online
and
see
some
of
those
improvements
through
the
new
cama
investment?
Sure.
B
Through
the
chair,
councilmember
Palmisano,
we
are
at
the
contract
negotiation
phase,
so
the
attorneys
are
working
through
the
fine
details
of
the
contract.
We
are
slated
to
start
implementation
quarter,
four
we're
looking
at
November
of
nineteen
and
then
it's
about
a
20
month
implementation,
so
we're
probably
I
would
say
for
2021
we're
hoping
to
have
either
a
side-by-side
implementation.
So
we're
going
to
be
running
it
alongside
ours
to
make
sure
that
the
values
and
and
our
incorrectly-
but
is
that
correct
my
view
so
2021?
B
B
Yes,
so
so
we
would
be,
we
would
be
working
with
their
developers
working
for
their
implementation.
The
package
that
we
have
should
be
fairly
straightforward
to
implement
there
very
little
customization
that
we're
going
to
be
going
through
so
yeah.
Our
goal
right
now
is
on
the
twenty
twenty
one
value
statements
will
be
generated
off
the
the
the
new
camera
system,
which
is
I,
can't
say
it,
but
in
the
new
camera
system
for.
B
To
start
we're
not
waiting
to
start
with
literally
I
mean,
and
actually
in
that
statistic
that
showed
where
our
overall
assessed
value
was
in
relation
to
market
we're
getting
closer
and
closer
with
some
of
the
statistical
tools
that
we're
just
we're
using
on
an
ad-hoc
basis
to
really
refine
our
assessment.
So
we're
getting
better
we're
not
sitting
back
waiting,
saying
well
be
because
this
old
camera
system
isn't
too
efficient.
So
hopefully
that
helps.
