Pirmantgen v. Roberts County
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court affirmed in part and reversed in part the judgment of the circuit court reversing and modifying the decision of the hearing examiner modifying the Roberts County Director of Equalization's tax assessments on four of James Pirmantgen's properties but affirming the County's remaining twelve assessments, holding that the circuit court erred.
On appeal, the County argued that the circuit court erred in concluding that it failed properly to value Pirmantgen's properties for tax assessment purposes. The Supreme Court held (1) the circuit court properly determined that the hearing examiner's valuations as to three parcels were clearly erroneous; (2) the circuit court erred in reversing the hearing examiner's decision as to ten properties and in directing the County to reduce the assessments on these properties; and (3) because the circuit court did not have the authority to order a refund of taxes, it erred in directing the County to reimburse Pirmantgen any taxes paid in excess of what should have been paid.
