His value has gone up 2%, 2.8%, 5.2%, 14.5 (built garage), and now 18% - and <br />that is with no improvements made. He has spoken to the County already. Since 1994, when he <br />occupied the house, his valuation went from $138,000 to $229,900. <br /> <br />Assessor Lovstad explained that when Mr. Aberlie's property was first valued, it was without a <br />finished basement, and when the Assessor was able to get into the house in 1999, it was noted <br />the basement was finished, therefore, the property valuation went up. <br /> <br />Board of Review- April 11, 2001 <br /> Page 1 of 3 <br /> <br /> <br />
