Iowa Supreme Court Rules Tax Commission Biased Rail Property
The Iowa Supreme Court ruled the State Tax Commission discriminated against the Chicago and North Western Railway in 1963 property tax assessments, voiding those valuations and ordering a fair reassessment. The decision could affect other railroads and raise questions about tax losses, with lower courts already hearing similar reductions. Judge Carroll Wild had found the 1963 assessment at about 60 percent of value versus others at 30 percent.
