After the Arbor Day tornadoes, many homeowners filed Form 425 last year to lower their property values and reduce taxes.
Douglas County Clerk Dan Esch said the 307 filings led to a $93 million tax cut countywide but overall tax rates remained unchanged—only some taxing districts saw heavy value losses.
The Douglas County Health Department partnered with local organizations to study the long-term impacts of the 2024 Arbor Day tornadoes and will conduct surveys to assess recovery progress and emerging needs.
Survey teams will visit Waterloo, Elkhorn, and Bennington on May 5 and May 6 — the survey is voluntary and confidential.
