Falls Village Board Assessment Complaint Overvaluation
John Liporace, a Falls, N.Y. businessman, urged the village board to correct an overassessment of his Wood Block property in the business district. He said the assessed value exceeds the purchase price and should be 28 percent of true value, citing a $1,248 overcharge across 1970 and the coming year. He plans legal action in Troy at a cost of about $1,000, aiming to lower his assessment and avert further charges.
