On a 2 year sales ratio study run by Anoka County, we were about 95% of
market value. These are run from the sales certificates received at the
time the deeds are registered at the county. The reason for the difference
in the Anoka County study and the study we run, ! believe, is that we
deduct the personal property out of the sale and the County does not.
After preparing our own sales ratlo study of sales in 1972-1973-1974
to find our median at 91% over a 3 year period in the entire city, we
determined to update 75% of the residential properties 6%. According to'
the new law passed by the legislature, whereby we must view and value 25%
of the parcels each year, we chose the area from Central to Stlnson,
between 37th and 45th, for a total of about 1700 properties. In addition,
there were 395 pieces of new construction throughout the c~ty that were
measured, viewed, and valued. We took pictures of properties that were
new or changed appearance since the last picture.
New commercial and industrial construction including the Marquette Bank
of Col. Hts., the Ounkin Donuts Shop, the addition to the Chief Theater, an
addition to Kochavers Tabor Bushnell, an addition to Mpls. Electric Steel, and
completion of the building at 3801 California by Commers, were valued. The
land values were changed somewhat in the industrial area, but the rest of the
buildings in that area will be revalued next year as a part of next years 25%.
Routine work accomplished by this department is as follows:
1. Updating our files as to the zoning changes that took place
with the new zoning ordlnaDce.
2. Prepared searches.
3. Made subdivisions of value as well as special assessment amounts.
4. Prepared assessment rolls.
5. Prepared lists of property owners for traffic hearings.
6. Prepared lists of property owners for hearings on rezoning
of properties.
7. Prepared lists of property owners for hearings on variances
for the Housing Authority.
8. Prepared and mailed preliminary hearing notices.
9. Prepared and mailed levy notices.
10. Figured amounts for new assessments.
11. Figured interest and current installment on assessments.
12. Prepared and mailed assessment statements.
13. Typed and correlated assessment information on assessment
control cards.
14. Added penalty to delinquent assessments and listed the
delinquent portion for the county.
15. Changed o~nership on Yaluation sheets and assessment files
on about 700 in 1975.
16. Took applications for new homesteads.
In September, Cheryl Kennedy resigned and Shelley Hansen moved into the
Finance Director's office where she will continue the speclal assessment
bookkeeping along with payroll in that of-f ice. Ellen Prince came to work in
thls office in September where she will share the office load with Jane Halek,
who has been here two years. My assistant, Gerald Hedlund has just completed
2 years of internship, is certified by the State Board of Assessors and is
continuing his education in appraising at Anoka-Ramsey evening school.
We share in the city slogan "Service is our business" by answering as
fully as possible ali inquiries from residents, property owners, realtors,
loan companies, and outside appra|sors. Many times during the year each one
of us has the opportunity to discuss taxes, special assessments, Sr. Citizens
freeze credits, valuations etc. with resident or non-resldent owners.
We were very happy to learn that due to our efforts at being over
ratio of value to sales the cities state-aid has been increased for 1976.
I believe there will be some incentive legislation introduced in the near
future to encourage all assessing units in the State of Minnesota to have
sales ratlos over
Respectfully submitted,
Mildred V. Carlson
City Assessor

HOMESTEAD RESIDENTIAL:
On a $33,400 estimated market value for tax payable 1974
would now be, generally, about 5% hi'gher in 1975, or $35,000, due
to the law of limitation.
