Personal Property Assessments Decrease in Winnebago County 1968
Winnebago County records show a 6 percent drop in personal property assessments from 1967 to 1968, totaling $4,794,256 down from $4,002,755, due to a 1967 state law exempting $2,500 per household. Real estate values rise slightly overall, with Forest City and Buffalo Center noting gains, while Searville shows an exception from a large inventory at Farmers Elevator. County utilities and industrial lands remain taxable, with notable totals listed for Forest City, Lake Mills, and Lake Mills utility components. Wayne County Assessor Gordon Levad notes the trend reflects the household exemption rather than future declines.
