Plymouth County Board of Review uses equalized values countywide

The Plymouth County Board of Review explains it is equalizing personal property values across townships on a county basis to ensure fair shares of tax burdens. Real estate values are updated every four years, with 1945 values used in 1948, and future assessments will cover both real estate and personal property. The process aims for uniform valuations, with fieldmen and county officers enforcing equality, while tax amounts depend on local taxing units.
