In a ruling sent to Douglas County on May 4, the commission said residential property in Douglas County is at 93 percent of market value, and commercial property is at 95 percent of market value.

The tumult of this tax season may not be entirely over, however.

Taxpayers who believe the assessor got it wrong may file a protest in June with the Douglas County Board of Equalization.

P.J. Morgan, who sits on that body as a member of the Douglas County Board, said he’s glad the state approved the Assessor’s Office valuations. But he said he’s still hearing from taxpayers who believe their valuations are too high, who question the land portion of valuations and who see valuations as inconsistent.

“Some of them have said they didn’t receive the reductions they thought they would,” Morgan said. “They’ll have their time to come before us.”

Battiato said she didn’t know how many protests to expect.

“In light of the reduction to 93 percent, there shouldn’t be a lot, but that’s all up to the property owner,” she said.
