# Elkhart County Live Meeting

This was an administrative hearing held by the Elkhart County Property Tax Assessment Board of Appeals on September 15, 2026, concerning property tax assessment appeals for the years 2024, 2025, and 2026. The petitioner, Daryl Sears, challenged the assessed values of his property parcels, expressing concerns primarily about rising property taxes and the county's spending rather than disputing the assessed market values directly. The county assessor's representative, Tyler Miller, presented evidence including aerial maps, emails, mortgage documents, and valuation data, explaining the assessment process and depreciation factors. The board discussed the possibility of a field inspection but noted no significant changes to the property. No specific contract awards, RFPs, or procurement decisions were made during this hearing. The focus remained on clarifying assessment methodology and addressing taxpayer concerns about tax increases and county expenditures.
