COUNTY OF ANOKA <br /> Qf. five o.f the County <br /> <br />COURTHOUSE ANOKA, MINNESOTA 55303 612-421-4760 <br /> <br />September 22, 1980 <br /> <br />Memo To: <br />From: <br /> <br />Re: <br /> <br />Lester Wirz <br /> <br />Gayle Leone <br /> <br />1981 Residential Rate .Increase <br /> <br />The 1981 Anoka County residential rate manual was increased <br />by 7%. This is to reflect the increase in the sales of <br />residential property from July 1, 1979 to July 1,1980. I am <br />using the Marshall and Swift index service along with E. H. <br />Boeckhs appraisal manual and index service to arrive at this <br />increase. This data is verified by taking actual resales of <br />residential property in Anoka County from 1979 to 1980, <br />together with sales data from many mortgage lending companies <br />and local real estate firms. Several local contractors are <br />also contacted to verify this increase. <br /> <br />The assessor is charged, by law, to follow the market..¥alue <br />of all properties and to maintain his values as close to the <br />selling price as possible; therefore, as real estate increases <br />in value, so does the assessor's value. <br /> <br />Since the revised value notices went out 11 days ago, we have <br />had only 4 taxpayers question the new value. None of these <br />4 taxpayers felt their value was excessive. <br /> <br />GL:cls <br /> <br />Affirmative Action / Equal Opportunity Employer <br /> <br /> <br />
