# Polk County 11/10/2026 Tuesday Work Session

The Polk County Board of Commissioners’ November 10, 2026, work session featured an update from the county assessor. The assessor reported no new bonds or levies on the tax roll, modest changes in some local bond rates, and growth in property values. Commissioners discussed Central School District’s bond-payment decisions and how those changes affect taxpayers. The assessor also described implementation of House Bill 3940, which expanded the acreage eligible for rural fire district revenue: the county estimated about $15,000 in staff costs for its implementation, while the work has cost counties statewide more than $1 million to date. The assessor noted the office is down one FTE and is continuing to digitize appraisal records and prepare for property assessment work.

The discussion also covered assessment reviews, housing and RVs used as residences, and efforts to address funding and administrative challenges affecting assessment and taxation services. The board approved the agenda and November 3 minutes; no procurement decisions, contract awards, or purchasing actions were identified.
