Lawsuit Targets Quay County Over Tax Billing
Twelve Shores LLC has filed suit in the Tenth Judicial District Court claiming Quay County overbilled 2013 property taxes by 1.5 times, potentially doubling the tax base hit from the Ute Lake Ranch bankruptcy. If the suit succeeds, county taxable property value could drop by about $18 million, worsening a fiscal year devaluation that already totaled roughly $14.6 million net. County Assessor Janie Hoffman and County Attorney Bridget Jacober declined to comment on the filing.
