Nebraska homeowners weigh pros and cons of rising home values, property taxes

Nebraska homeowners are receiving notices of property valuation adjustments and they'll have the opportunity to protest valuations beginning Thursday. Market rate increases in Douglas County are leading to several homeowners seeing their valuation increase. State law establishes that residential properties in Nebraska must be valued at 92% to 100% of the actual, current market value, said Zach Bass, who is the residential appraisal supervisor for the Douglas County Assessor's Office.
