We are excited to transition to our new GIS website. We encourage you to take a look at it and check out what it all has to offer. A few things we'd like to highlight on the website is the Land Use, Sales and District Lookup. Another great feature is, you now have the ability to print off the Property Data Sheet on each parcel, so all of the information of that particular property is now available to you.

-Our old GIS website is still up and running but it will be out of service at the end of June.

-Here is the link to our new one! https://boxbutte.mipsgis.com/

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: May 2026

TERC Orders Adjustment to Agricultural Residential Valuations

Box Butte County, NE — On April 29, 2026, the Tax Equalization and Review Commission (TERC) conducted a show cause hearing regarding 2026 property valuations presented by Box Butte County Assessor Michelle Robinson.

The hearing was part of Nebraska’s annual statewide equalization process, which ensures property assessments are consistent and reflect market value. During this process, the Property Tax Administrator (PTA) identified a discrepancy between rural residential and agricultural residential property valuations within the county.

Although no changes had been made locally to agricultural residential values from 2025 to 2026, the PTA recommended a 52% increase to achieve equalization.

Following testimony and review, TERC approved the recommended adjustment. As a result, valuations for agricultural residential properties and home sites will increase by 52% for the 2026 tax year.

Property owners will receive official Change of Value notices beginning June 1, 2026.
