Property Valuations
Change of Valuation Notice Process
In an effort to streamline the Change of Valuation Notice process, the Saline County Assessor’s office has partnered with MIPS for the 2025 assessment year. Per Nebraska Statute 77-1315, on or before June 1, county assessors are to send notice of valuation change to the owner of record as of May 20 of any property that had an increase or decrease in value.
With postage costs on the continual rise and yet wishing to provide you with as much information as possible, we have placed several links on our website to enable you to retrieve the market area maps, ag sales and other valuable data that you typically had included in past Change of Valuation Notices.
Please see the following links for this documentation:
If you have questions about your 2025 assessment, please contact the office at 402-821-2588.
You may also review your property online at: saline.gworks.com **Please be aware, that at this time, there are no visible sketches available online**
Dates for filing valuation protests (appeals) are from June 1 – June 30th. It is requested that you reach out to the county assessor’s office prior to filing the appeal to visit about your property. If a formal appeal is filed, please be aware that we will be requesting an on-site exterior and interior inspection of your property.
Protest Form and Additional Documents
Property Valuation Protests
Property Valuation Protests can be filed with the Saline County Clerk on Form 422, along with a protest letter.
Who may file?
Any interested person may protest the assessed valuation of any real or personal property.
When and where to file:
The Form 422 when completed, MUST be filed with the County board of Equalization at the office of the County Clerk, in order for it to be accepted. Also, a protest letter must be turned into the Clerk’s office.
Real Property:
Protests must be filed on or before June 30. The requested valuation of the property must be stated along with the basis for the request. Failure to state the reasons for the requested valuation shall be grounds for dismissal of the protest.
The legal description of the property and the value of the land and buildings must be included. All evidence that will be presented at the hearing must be provided at the time of filing the appeal.
Personal Property:
Protests must be filed on or before May 1. The taxpayer may provide a copy of the most recent federal depreciation worksheet or any other supporting documents as evidence of the requested change in value. If additional space is needed, attach additional sheets to each copy of the Form 422.
The form 422 may also be used when the county assessor notifies a taxpayer of an additional assessment, the failure to file a personal property return, or the imposition of a penalty. The taxpayer has thirty days from the date the notification was mailed to protest the action of the assessor.
Hearing Procedure:
The person protesting the assessed valuation will be notified by the county clerk of the place and time for the hearing on the protest. At this hearing evidence may be submitted and witnesses may be presented. Within seven days after the final decision, the clerk shall notify the protester of the action taken by the board.
Appeals may be taken to the Tax Equalization and Review Commission within 30 days after adjournment of the county board of equalization. For protests acted upon during the board’s June 1 to July 25 equalization session, adjournment is deemed to be July 25th
Signature:
The protest must be signed and dated.
