Riley County commissioners discussed the impact on local government entities and taxpayers from recent the Board of Tax Appeals case. County Clerk Rich Vargo presented the impact per the request of other local government entities. Before the BOTA case, Home Depot was being taxed in 2018 over $239,000. That number now is around $150,000, which was the previously reported number the county owed. The county actually owes $87,000 which is the difference between the two values. The costs of the refund will be split three ways: $29,186 from Manhattan, $24,194 from the County, and $33,582 from USD 383, the only school district impacted.
