Editorial: Good Start on Cutting Tax Rate in Madison County
The Madison County Tax Adjustment Board moves toward lowering the tax rate with the State Board of Tax Commissioners due to visit on the 28th and 29th. Officials expect further cuts of 40 to 60 cents from the current $3.06 Anderson Civil City rate due to valuation discrepancies. County Auditor Carlin Dawson’s erroneous lower assessment and Township Assessor Wahn Dean’s certified figure sparked debate on the rate, risking a nearly $2 increase if not corrected. The Anderson Herald exposed the error, prompting taxpayer relief. The Tax Research Committee, city officials, and local groups are urged to push for deeper reductions to be presented to the State Tax Board.
