The Department of Revenue has become aware of a campaign informing senior citizens there was a federal law passed that limits or freezes property taxes for senior citizens and to file a federal 1098SR. This is entirely false; a federal law was not passed that affects state property taxes and the federal form 1098SR does not exist. Property taxes are a state program and administered at the state level. The federal government is not involved with state property taxes. Please be aware this may be a scam and do not provide any personal information to any individual or website claiming this is legitimate.

Fire Ban

Banner County is currently experiencing extreme drought conditions. These dry conditions, combined with high and unpredictable winds, significantly increase the risk of large, rapidly spreading, and difficult-to-control fires.

The County Board of Commissioners has reviewed the issue of fireworks during the current drought conditions. County officials are committed to protecting Banner County residents, property, and emergency responders from increased fire risk and have requested that the Fire Department take appropriate action.

Effective immediately, the Banner County Fire Chief has imposed a complete fire ban for Banner County and it will remain in effect until conditions improve. This ban includes, but is not limited to, all forms of open burning, rubbish or trash burning, bonfires, fireworks, open flames, and any other incendiary source that may cause or contribute to a fire.

This action is not intended to restrict anyone’s ability to celebrate the 4th of July, but to protect residents and property during these unprecedented conditions. After consultation with local officials, residents, the State Fire Marshal’s Office, and Governor Pillen, officials have determined that a complete fire ban is in the best interest of Banner County. All residents are expected to comply with this ban until it is lifted.
