UPDATE BY HENNEPIN COUNTY ON THE 2015 ASSESSED VALUATIONS FOR
PROPERTY TAXES PAYABLE IN 2016
Mr. Jim Atchison a representative of Hennepin County, spoke on Brooklyn Center's yearly
assessment regarding the valuations of properties. He explained that the property values have
increased around 7%, which was based off the gross tax base. If new construction wasn't
included, the percentage would drop to 6.5%. He shared that new construction makes up for
$9,491,100 of property valuations, which updates the MCAP to 92%. He stated that all types of
properties in Brooklyn Center have increased in value over the last year, the largest jump was in
condos, which increased by 28.6%. After the study was completed, the residential properties are
still the main type of property increasing in Brooklyn Center. Mr. Atchison explained there have
been very few calls from people who are not agreeing with the valuations and reminded
everyone that in order to appeal you need to attend the local meeting before going to the County.
City Manager Curt Boganey inquired what time period were the valuations taken from. Mr.
Atchison explained that the valuations are taken on January 2nd over ever year, but those values
are then looked at from October 13th of the prior year to September 14 of the current year to
discover the ranges. Mr. Boganey inquired if there were any trends appearing concerning growth.
Mr. Atchison explained it is too early for trends, those will typically show in May or June.
Mayor/President Willson pointed out that the increase is showing re-development of the City is
working.
