TO PROPERSY OWNERS IN THE CITY:
No doubt you have received a notice from the Carver County Asses_sor
informing you of the County Assegsorrs estimated market va}ue of
your real property for the 1978 assessment for tax purposes '
you have also been advised by that noLice that the Chanhassen Board
of Review will meet on June 13, L9?7, to revj'ew these aEsesanrcnts'
Under state law the City Council acting as the Board of Review
is to review the assessment of ProPerty j-n the City and apply,
as indicated, the following crit,eria in its review:
a. Determination by the Board that all taxable property
in the City has been placed upon the tax lists to insure
that, no property has teen omitted and that proper tax
exempt classifications have been made'
b. Determination of the accuracy of classifications of propertYr
that is, whether property is properly classified as home-
stead, non-homestead, agricultural, industrialr €tc.
C. Determine the correctness Of the assessment so that each
tract or lot of real Property shall be entered on the
assessment list at its market value'
d. If indicated, raise the assessment of Property' but
on}yaftertheownerhasbeendulynotifiedofthe
intent of the Board' of Review to do so'
e. Revj-ew the assessments of property of persons feeling
aggrieved,andcorrectsuchassessmentsassha}lappear

The above law seems to vest the 10ca1 Board of ReView with considerable
authorityand'powerinthematterofpropertyassessment.HoWEVER,this authority is su]:staniiiii' ai*itti=t"a ny Minnesota Statute

As you wlll noter the above guoted law clearly demonstrates that,forall practJ,cal purposes, the City Board of Review is powerlese
Lo grant to you any effective rellef in the matter of property
asseooment. For example, if the aggregate assessment mad,e by the
County Asaessor for our City totals 4.5 rniLlion dollars and theCity Board of Review does not wish to ralse any assessments, the
Board would be permitted to make adjustments totaling only $45r000.00.fn substance then, the authority of the local Board of Review as llmitedby Mlnnesota Statute 273.061 is meaningless
In view of the extremely limited authority of the City Board of
Review, a loglcal question come6 to mind - where can taxpayers seekrelief? There are three avenues open to aggrieved taxpayera:
E. tlinnesota Statute 270.07 provides for application for
reduotion or abatement which may be made to the County
Board, and which is then fonrrarded on to the State Com-
mlssioner of Taxation, who has the power to grant reduc-tions or abatement of valuations or taxes. The County
Board is not authorized by 1aw under this procedure
to grant reduction or abatement as this power I-s vested
only in the State Commissioner of Taxation.
b. Chapter 278 of t'linnesota Statutee provides that any person
who claims that his property has been parti-alJ-y, unfairly
or unequally assessed, or that such parcel hae been aesessed
at a valuation greater than its real or actual valuer of,
that the tax levied against the property is i}legal,
in whole or in part, or that the property is exempt from
the tax so leviedr ftdY have the validity of his claim
determined by the District Court by filing a petition to
this effect wien tfre Clerk of the Court on or before the
Ist day of June of the year in which such tax becomes
payab1l. It should be noted that the procedure under
this law is highly technical and any Person interested
in seeking thi; rEmedy should consult with his personal
attorney Io insure that the ProPer steps are taken.
c. Appllcation of the Green Acres treatment under lrlinnesota
statute 273.111 for those persons who are eligible for
the aPPtication of this law'
The city council, acting as the Board of Review, hopes that this
sunmary will be of heJ-p to you in understanding the very limited
part it can play in the matier of property assessment in this City'
and that you ,roi h.v" a better undLrstanding of the problems and
procedurei which are involved in this matter.

Mlnnesota Statute 273.061 , suM. 9, provldos that a local board of revlcw
shall have the power to reduco arsossments upon p€tldon of the taxpayer,
but the total of such adJustments shall not reduce tho aggregatc assessment
made by the county assessor by more than l% of sald aggregate assesament.
If the total of such_adlustments would lower the aqqreoa-te gseo,gsments madl?

Assessment o[ real property tn odd numbered years ls governad by Mlnnesota
Statute 273.L7. In every odd numbered year, on ]anuatY 2, the aaaessor
shall also assess all real property that rnay have become sublect to taxaUon
slnce the last prevlous assessment, lncludlng all real property platted slnce
the last real estate assessment ln the even-numberod year, anci all bulldlngs

been erected. Provtslon ls also made under thta atatute for ttre reductlon
of valualon ln the case of the destnrcUon by fLre, flood or othorwlsa of any
butldlng or stnrcttrre.
In an oplnlon dated JuIy 20, 1953, to the Clarkfleld Vlllage Attorney, the
Attorney General stated that wlth regard to the property llsted and assessed
fn 1952 lt would follow that there was no assessment of UIe property tn the
year l9S3 and no revlew by the local Board would lte (except under ttte clr-
cumstances contemplated by MtnneEota Statute 273. 17 provldtng for
assessment ln odd numbered years).
In an oplnlon dated August 24, 1965, to the Lesueur ctty AttOrney, ttts
Attornoy General held that the local board's functlon ts to revlew and adJust
the assessments as made by the aBsessor. The board'a autlrorlty to adlust-
these assessments !s llmlted so that the aggregate of assessments as made
by the assessor may not be reduced by more than I% of sald aggrsgato'
slnce t}e assessments which may be Eade durtng thc odd-nunbered year
are only those set out ln Mlnnesota Statute 273.17, lt tg only these ASEssE-
mantg whlch may be ravtewed ln the odd numbered year.
Vlllage Counctl -3-Iuly 6, l97l
On March 19, 1958, ln angwor to the Nlrswa Vlllage Attorney to the questlon
'Cpuld the vlllage have a complete re-assegsment made through the offtce
of the County Assessor and pay tho costs thercof ?', the Attorney General
held aa follows:
'The vLllage has only such powers as are expreaaly conferred
by stahrte or necessarlly tmplted by those whlch arc expressly
conferred. 13 DurureU Dlgest 3d Ed., Sec. 668t. MS 274.01
makes the vtllage courptl a board of revlsw to revlew the argoaa-
rnents of property tn the vtllage and lmposes upon lt the duty to
ascertaln that all taxable Property thereln ls llstcd ard 'duly
valuod' by the asseasor. lf real property hae bean omltted,
euch board ls requlred to place lt on the llst ar lta tnre valgo
arrd corract the assessment acCordlngly. Norrhore ln ths Stahrt6
does there app€ar to be any authorlty glven tho vtllage corlfll
as such, or as a board of revlew, to mako a rctssascmont o(
property ln the vlllage.
,The duUes of the county eupervlsor of asgessmcnta are allO
prescrtbed by statute. MSA 273'071, Subd' 8' He has no
authodty e:rcept such aA ts ao conferred upon hlm. Hls stttu-
tory powers and duuea do not lnclude authorlty to malo a
reassessment ln the lnstanca of the vtllage cogncll nor upon
an agreement wlth tt.
.MS 270.11, Subd. 3 and 270.16 relate to the ncagEeasnsnt of
prop€rty wlthtn an asses6ment dtstrlct such ag the vlllage. Urder
elther of theae sectlons, a neassessment can only be had tn the
tnstance of the commlssloner of ta)Gtlon, and the reagSessment,
under eltlrer sectlon, ls made by a speclal assessor and depuUes
appolnted by the commlssloner. Under 270.LI, Subd' 3, ttre
commlssloner causes a reassesament to be made of all or any
real and personal property ln any assessment dlstrlct when, tn
hls tudgment, a reasses8ment ls deslrable or nece83ary 'to the
end that any and all prr:perty ln such dtstrlct shall be assessed
equttably' as compared wlth ltke property tn the county. under
?70.L6 the commlsSloner, upon a complalnt or frndrng cs ttreraln
prescrlbed, causes a reassessment to be made lf he ls aatlsfted

CONCLUSIONS:
tn vtew of the above Mtnnesota stctutaa and oPlntong of the Attorney General,
the authorlty of the local Board of Rovtew ts tlmlted tn odd-nu.mbercd year8

Furtlrer, the vlllage cannot have a complete reassesgmcnt of the real property

SUBJ: Lake Riley Sewer and Water Project
I have reviewed the feasibility study completed by Schoell and
Ivladson for Lake Riley sewer and water improvement qrojec!' I
believe the following comments should be consid,ered by the city
council:
t). Trunk sewer costs I do not believe that it is
reasonable to consider trunk sehler costs for this project in the
same sense that trunk sewer units are established in other portions
of the city. overs LzLng of the main and facilities for the sewer
system wiII ""iy-U""efii tne Lake Riley Service area' As such'
this office find.s no justification in establishing the same unit
;il;;s;-;;-i"-;;iablisf,ed in "ir,"t portions of the communitv' but
would instead i""omm"na that the totar cost of the trunk sewer be
divided by the-number of benefitted par-els in this area- specifically,
this would include the 24 existing home sites (assessed at time of
lateral assessment) plus toti"iptfed new divisions and connections
in Band.imere Heights tassessea it time of connection and increased
by C.o.L.). aaaitionallyr-$; iafe niley service area is benefitted
by trunk costs from the f,akerri", Hills s6rvice area' The opposite is
nor rrue. Furrher, rhe "il;'i; ;i;iaining a large d'eficit for
future connections into tfrJ'fafeview niifs trunk service area' This
office woutd propose thar-tf,;- iare Ril;t-="iri."-area (existing and
future units I 72) be added to the totai"''*f"t of units in the Lakeview
Hills service area, and thls-iot"t nt"nu!r- oi units divided into the
current remaining city .o"I" iot trunk "ttt'i"" in the Lakeview Hills
area. The amount so derivea woufa then i-pt"t"t't the per unit cost
of benefj.t accrued to the iir" Rirey serviLe area as a benefit from
installation of the Lake.riu*-ffiifs -pro:Ect' The costs so derived
would be in addition to th; $55,2L4' pi;il;"g e be.assessed to the
Lake Riley area as a trunk-beneiit exlfusivefy for that area' I have
reviewed this with the city Attorney .nd tt" slpports this recor'nendation'

Eayor and Council -2-rlune L3 | L977
2'). Water Senrice - As noted in the engineerrs report, providing
water serxzice via tnrnk water units to this area at this time is not
finincially feasibLe. However, instaLlation of the Laterdl water
1ine, thus avoiding re-restoring the street. This office agrees with
both of these recommendations.
I have requested BilL Brezinsky to prepare the probabLe tnrnk selrer
assessmends based on the formula outLined above. Attached please: find
the sane.
