The City of Belfield went through a full reappraisal for 2020. This has not been done since 2010 and there were a lot of changes. Some may have had building permits, and some didn't. There were several houses that we had a vacant with a very low value on and they have been completely remodeled and people are living in them and have been for year. All Obsolescence was removed on all Commercial properties in all the small cities.
