The Dallas County Board of Supervisors approved the abatement of real estate taxes at their regular meeting Tuesday. 

The abatement was for a parcel of land owned by the City of West Des Moines in the amount of $106.06, due to the property owner being a municipality, which are tax exempt. Also, the Board discussed the potential for future county and court space needs.

The Board discussed topics including the timing of when the County would need more space as well as where it would be located which include potentially downtown Adel, the new law enforcement center and other places. The Board feels the county government should grow within the square of Adel. Due to this being a discussion item no action was taken. 

The Board then moved into a closed session to discuss the purchase of particular real estate.
