February 11, 1999 Au mr Michael Montplaisir, CPA 701.241.5601 Treasurer Charlotte Sandvik 701-241-5611 Director of Equalization Frank Klein 701.241-5616 Orville Iwen 2530 156 Av SE Amen/a, ND 58004-9713 Re: Letter dated February 7, 1999 Dear Mr. Iwen: I received your recent letter and the two farm residence exemption forms for your residences. In that the house is vacant and is located on agricultural land, it would be exempt from taxation. The information that you provided on your mobile home would indicate that it is taxable. However, them are a number bills before the Legislature that may modify the requirements for meeting the exemption statutes. If and when they become law, I will forward a revised' application to you. I will not be signing the enclosed letter that you've prepared for my signature. I'm employed by Cass County to represent the county in taxation issues, and I cannot be an advocate for a taxpayer in a crop insurance issue. Also, I do not know that all of the information presented is fact. In regards to drainage issues, you will need to contact the respective water boards directly. However, I did remember that the board stated that it is your responsibility that the drain be surveyed for elevation. I've enclosed the valuations on certain sections as you requested. In regards to land planing in Wiser Twp., I personally observed recent planing and ditching improvements in the SW 1/4 of section 20. In regards to questions regarding your rights to file appeals, I would suggest that you hire the services of an attorney. As you mentioned that you were the Amen/a Township assessor for 35 years, I'm sure that you understand how the assessment process works. l~x 2806 211 Ninth Str~ South Fargo, No~ Dakin 58103 Sincerely, , Frank Klein Cass County Director of Equalization Enclosures FAX 701-241.5728
