“Vacant or Unimproved Lot Application” Deadline Approaching

Douglas County Assessor/Register of Deeds (www.dcregisterofdeeds.org) Diane Battiato is reminding owners of two or more vacant or unimproved lots, which are being held for sale or resale, that if they want to take advantage of LB 191, Nebraska Revised Statutes, Sections 77-132 and 77-1314, they must file a form 191 annually. Battiato said that according to the statutes, if the lots are vacant or unimproved and being held for sale or resale, the owner can have the lots treated as one parcel for property assessment and property-tax purposes.  Interested owners should file the form 191, “Vacant or Unimproved Lot,” with her office by December 31 of each year.  If the deadline falls on a weekend or holiday as it does this year, the filing deadline is the next business day.
