Sleepy Eye Tax Abatement Resolution Endorsed by County Board
Brown County commissioners unanimously adopt a resolution urging the state board of equalization to adjust Sleepy Eye’s assessment after protests by local citizens I M Olsen and Hans Mo. They argue increases over state figures burden property owners, noting Sleeppy Eye’s taxable valuation rose while neighboring towns fared better. They request abatement to keep Sleepy Eye’s tax burden proportional to others.
