Gov. Jim Pillen forms group to examine Nebraska property valuations

LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) – Nebraska Gov. Jim Pillen is hoping to find a solution to increasing property values in the state.

In a press release Monday, Pillen announced a new group that will examine property valuations across Nebraska.

Members of the group include Pillen, several state senators, the Nebraska Farm Bureau and the Lincoln Chamber of Commerce.

“Valuation increases in Nebraska have become an unbearable burden for homeowners, businesses, and agriculture producers across our state,” Pillen said in the release. “We will find a solution that will reduce the burden of insurmountable valuation growth in recent years. It is our job to make sure Nebraska continues to be the best place to live and reckless valuation increases on home and property hinders that commitment to Nebraskans.”

State Sen. Joni Albrecht, a member of the newly founded group, said reforming property valuations is a “much-needed fix.”
