Lincoln County Faces State Board Valuation Review
Lincoln County assessors and local officials returned from a State Board of Equalization visit to Kemmerer detailing the lowest land valuations in the state. Lincoln’s average land value is about 12.60 per acre, far under Sheridan’s 60. The board indicated understatements in listing second-class lands as first-class. Tanser said errors by deputies caused the mismatch. The board did not ratify, and Tanner must appear August 24 to justify valuations or risk increases. If raised, first-class land could rise 26 percent and second-class 20 percent, affecting county totals and county landowners. Railroad valuations were also adjusted, with increases for several lines, including the Chicago Burlington & Quincy, and lines through Cody and Thermopolis.
