NebraskaCounty assessors would receive limited protection during property inspections
If enacted, county assessors would be protected from trespass prosecution while performing required property inspections, but would need permission to enter enclosed buildings.
What it does
County assessors would be protected from trespass prosecution while conducting required property inspections. They could not enter an enclosed building without the owner’s or occupant’s express permission.
Argument forThe protection could help assessors complete required property reviews without facing trespass prosecution, while preserving permission rules for enclosed buildings.
Argument againstProperty owners might have less ability to use trespass prosecution against an assessor entering their land during an official inspection, outside enclosed buildings.
More detail
A county assessor would not be liable for trespass prosecution while carrying out official duties under this inspection law. The protection covers county assessors conducting required reviews of taxable real property parcels. An assessor could not enter an enclosed building without the express permission of the property owner or occupant. The protection applies only while the assessor performs official duties under this section. It would apply during the required annual property inspections; the supplied text gives no separate effective date.
