We, the undersigned, call on Mountrail County Commissioners to continue to use 2016 farmland valuations until: 1. A new valuation method is developed based on actual land use as cropland or non cropland. 2. A Soils Committee is formed to recomend tax assessment methods to the county commission.

The momentum is undeniable. Time to bring this directly to the commissioners.

This is just robbery. How are we supposed to keep the farm running when the taxes go up this much while grain prices are in the toilet. Get it together.
protest of land tax increase of 195% in White Earth township 157-94 and land tax increase of 185% in Myrtle township 156-94. Trustee of the Edward L. Will Trust, POA of the Will Group, Donald W. Will.
We need to have a demonstration of how the soil testing was done. My review of the maps indicate that slope was not part of the review. I will submit a topo map overlay.
I submit that the new valuation method be based on on actual use as cropland and non-cropland. This is a matter of justice.
There may need to be changes made to assessed values, but this method is obviously not the right one for Mountrail County.
The manner that these were determined makes no sense.
please reconsider this decision
