Tax Returns Of Florida Show Rise In Property Valuation
Florida tax returns for 1902 filed with Comptroller Croom indicate a statewide increase in assessed real and personal property value by about 5 percent from the prior year. Increases are broadly uniform across counties, though figures reflect only a portion of true taxable wealth, as full valuation is not used by law. County valuations vary, with the process explained by statutory standards and customary practice. In Oklahoma City, a fire at the Lion store caused about 250000 dollars in loss, with one third insured, destroying stock and building valued at roughly 175000 dollars.
