Lower Tax Rates Certified For All 38 Athens County Districts
Athens County completes a reassessment lowering tax rates across 38 districts while total valuation rises from 80.33 million to 87.72 million in 1960. County Auditor J W Whaley says 1961 revenues will be about 2.101 million, aided by bond fund solvency and utility value shifts, with York Township and Athens City among notable rate cuts and some individual taxpayers facing higher bills due to uneven reassessment.
