Jean Klinedinst appeared before the Marshall County Commissioners in October where she presented an issue with her taxes on her property at Kreighbaum Lake. She stated that she and her husband were paying taxes on part of a parcel of land that is in the lake. Klinedinst said a survey was completed and found that 18 acres of the 41 acres of property on which she owns is in the lake. She has been paying taxes on water and that’s not normally how the system works.
The Marshall County Commissioners were made aware of a very bizarre issue facing a Keighbaum Lake resident.
Jean Klinedinst told the commissioners that she and her husband own approximately 41 acres of lake-front property at Kreighbaum Lake. When a survey was completed, she found out that 18 acres of the property on which she pays taxes is the lake itself. She told the commissioners that she is actually paying taxes on water. The lakes are usually county or state owned.
