Nebraskas state auditor scrutinizes potentially improper property tax exemptions on four DMV offices, leased by the state and granted partial or full exemptions by local governments. The auditor questions compliance with state law, as leases dont include options for the state to buy the buildings. The leases connect to two Omaha-based groups, the H.E.L.P. Foundation and the White Lotus Group, raising flags about possible private benefits from public exemptions. County assessors offered mixed responses, with Lancaster County agreeing to make the Lancaster property fully taxable. The report highlights key issues, like leases that return full control to owners, disqualifying them from exemptions. The state faces over thirty million dollars in remaining rent payments on these sites. Officials forwarded the findings to the Nebraska Department of Revenue for deeper review.
