<br />INVESTIGATION OF ABATEMENT APPLICATION <br /> <br />ABATEMENT NO. 4268 &4269 <br /> <br />Following is a report on the investigation ofthe abatement application of: Lee Payne <br /> <br />Cass County Board of Commissioners and State Tax Commissioner: <br /> <br />The applicant is asking that his residence located in Berlin Twp be exempt as a farm residence <br />for the years 2003 and 2004. Mr. Payne has filed written exemptions for both years stating that <br />he meets the active farmer exemption requirements. <br /> <br />The Berlin Twp Board recommended approval of the abatements. <br /> <br />Mr. Payne's residence is located on a 2.71 acre tract located in the SE4 3-141-50. There is also a <br />pole building, shop, and 3 grain bins located on the parcel. Mr. Payne has a 50% interest in the <br />adjoining E2 3-141-50 (275 acres) and farms this land. <br /> <br />Mr. Payne's tax records indicate that he meets the financial requirements for exemption. A <br />conversation with Mr. Payne indicates that farming is his sole occupation. <br /> <br />It's my recommendation to approve the request. <br /> <br />SUGGESTED MOTION: "I move that Abatement # 4268 & 4269 be approved, as <br />recommended by the Berlin Twp Board and the Director of Equalization." <br /> <br />Dated this 7th day of April, 2005. <br /> <br />'~~~~ <br /> <br />Francis Klein <br />Director of Tax Equalization <br /> <br />j:\tax\wp\abate <br />
