County Officials Attend State Workshop in Kearney

Kelly Mueller, Antelope County Assessor, completed a workshop conducted in Kearney on May 31 by the Nebraska Association of County Officials.

The workshop provided county commissioners, supervisors, and other county officials specialized training as they prepare to begin County Board of Equalization hearings. There was also a section of the workshop that dealt with county budgets.

Among the equalization-related topics addressed were the roles and responsibilities of county officials and other individuals involved in the process, the constitutional, statutory and regulatory provisions for real and personal property valuation, recent court cases and legislative changes in the tax equalization process. The state auditor's office provided timely information about the budget processes used in county government.

Also in attendance were County Clerk Lisa Payne and commissioners Leroy Kerkman and Eli Jacobs.
