Congratulations to Russ and Crew on a great conference! All
your hard work paid off. Thanks also to the Association for the opportunity to
serve as the next Treasurer. Welcome to all the new Directors and appraising
staff.
Many here in Hyde County are hoping for a little rain…many
didn’t think they would be saying that after all the spring storms we had but
this is South Dakota. Building permits are a bit slower than last year at this
time but hopefully will begin to pick up soon. Good luck to all who have OHE
appeals. I will be going with one this year on agricultural land as he feels he
has inadequate access therefore his value should be lower.
See you at the June workshops and maybe at school! Hope
everyone has a great summer.
Hello everyone from the Spink County crew! We have our
assessment notices run and ready to send! It is nice to have this process
completed! Now the work begins again….
In addition to the usual construction of grain bins,
utility sheds, remodeling, etc., in 2008 we had building permits for 33 new
homes and an additional 5 homes to be move into the county! It was a big
variety of construction ranging from 11site built, 7 off site built, 7
governor’s houses, 7 modular/mobile homes and 1 older home moved in. Of the 38
total 1 site built had not begun and 4 older homes had not been moved into the
county yet.
We were fortunate to get an early start on the building
permits, as we moved from heavy rains to winter weather and it hasn’t stopped
once it started! The harvesting was delayed many times throughout the fall,
making it a very frustrating year for the farmers and workers. We have heard
that some are still finishing crops left in the field.
We completed most of our assignment areas with just a few
to finish up with this year before moving on to our next challenge, the
townships! Beacon has been up and going for a while now and we continue to add
new subscribers. We are now gearing up for our Terra Scan system to be
installed. We have had an opportunity to practice with the program and look
forward to working with it.
In December Paul Dennert spoke here in Spink County
regarding the ag-production bill and the pros and cons as he sees them. Kim has
made several trips to Pierre regarding this bill. Always returning and stating
how interesting legislation is!
Just a little note to let everyone know we are still
selling our cancer bracelets for Relay for Life and this year have add one that
is pink and white for breast cancer awareness. We have appreciated all the
support from all of you! Thanks.
Back to top
Appeals in Sully County are once
again very light. I have 2 ag appeals and 1 appeal in Onida for consolidated
board. We do have to do omitted property this year. I found out the land the
Corp of Engineers gave to Game, Fish & Parks is taxable. So the last few weeks
I’ve been counting dots so I can put soils in.
The big news is that we are
getting GIS soon – not soon enough to be able to use on the G, F & P land
though. Next week it will be installed and I’ll start the learning process.
I’m really excited about getting the GIS. I know it will be so useful in almost
everything I do.
One more piece of exciting
information – at least for me. My husband and I are moving to town (Onida). We
currently live almost 20 miles out. Believe me that’s an extremely long drive
in the winter over bad roads. We should be able to move in around 3 weeks.
Right now I plan to walk to and from work – not drive!
