TAXATION IN
MINNESOTA
Sixth Article by the County
Board of Equalization

The preceding article explained
the methods of equalizing assess
ments between individual tax
payers by local boards of review.
The next step in the reviewing
process contemplates, chiefly, the
equalization of assessments between
taxing districts in the same county,
and this duty is committed to the
county board of equalization. This
board is not, however, limited to
action on the district assessments
but may change individual as
sessments were necessary.
The county board of Equaliza-
tion is composed of the county
commissioners and the county
auditor. 1t meets annually on the
third Monday in July at the
auditors Office. Having taken an
oath to fairly and inpartially"
perform their duties the board
proceeds to examine and compare
the returns of the assessment or
property of the several towns of
districts and equalize the same, so
that each tract or lot of real pro-
perty, and each article or class of
personal property, shall be entered
on the assessment list at its true
and full value.
The board may raise the valua-
tion of tracts of real property if
deemed too low, or reduce them if
too high. 1t may also
raise the aggregate valuation of the
real property of the entire county
or any district of the county by
percentage increases, but cannot
reduce the aggregate below the ag-
gregate values returned by the as
SCISSORS.
The board may raise the valua-
tion of each class of personal pro-
perty if deemed too low, and also

the aggregate value of personal
property of individuals or corpora
tions if assessed at less than its
true value. 1t may also reduce the
assessed value of each class of per-
sonal property when in its judg-
ment it is assessed too high but it
cannot reduce the personal pro-
perty assessment of individuals ex-
cept in the case of non-residents of
the district in which the property
is assessed, nor can it reduce the
aggregate value of personal pro-
perty below the amount returned
by the assessors. Before increas-
