Board of Equalization and Review | June 10, 2026

The Union County Board of Equalization and Review convened on June 10, 2026, primarily to hear taxpayer appeals regarding property tax valuations. A significant portion of the meeting focused on a detailed appeal by Matthew Snyder concerning the assessed value of his unique residential property. Mr. Snyder presented comparative sales data and an independent appraisal to argue that the county's valuation was excessively high, citing discrepancies in square footage calculations and market conditions. The county representatives responded with their own comparable sales analysis, adjustments for property age, condition, and land valuation methodology, ultimately supporting a valuation slightly lower than the initial assessment but higher than the taxpayer's requested amount. The board also reviewed other cases where taxpayers were absent and approved staff recommendations and consent agenda items related to settled accounts and new agreements. Motions to approve these items were passed unanimously. The meeting concluded with plans for future sessions and adjournment.
