No Reduction In Farm Land Values By State Board Says
Sherman White, local assessor, reported from Indianapolis that the State Tax Board will not reduce farm land assessments except in individual cases of overassessment or underassessment. Commissioner Crown stated land must bear taxes if other property values fall since the war, and assessors cannot easily change values due to the board’s veto power. This decision ends hopes of shifting the tax burden away from farmers.
