New Equalization Program Aims to Boost Bond Appeal
Baytown prepares to apply a 1965 property valuation study to 1965 taxes to raise total assessed values. City officials expect higher valuations could lower interest rates on 5.529 million to 10 million in bonds, improving market appeal. The study, started in 1963, aims for fair, current values without increasing taxes.
