County Auditor Sets 1942 Hocking Tax Rates
County Auditor Kenneth R. Fitzgerald has completed 1942 tax rate estimates for Hocking County with no rate set for Ward Township due to missing budget.

Final approval rests with the County Budget Commission and protests may be filed at a September 24 hearing, with appeals to the Ohio Tax Commission possible.
