Personal Property in the City of Fridley
Patrick Maghrak, City Assessor, stated the purpose of the meeting is to establish an appeal process
related to the January 22, 2023, valuation and classification, and reviewed the three actions the Board
could take. He reviewed the responsibilities of the Board and the appeal procedures. He noted that
he was contacted by a property owner who was not able to attend but wanted to appeal their
valuation. Their request will be submitted into the record to preserve their ability to appeal to the
County. He reviewed the 2023 assessment summary including adjustments and compared that
information to the previous year.
The Council asked for more details on the homeowner who is not present and would like to appeal
their value.
Mr. Maghrak provided additional details and noted that the exhibit would be included as part of the
resolution that would be adopted tonight to preserve their right to appeal to the County.
