Survey Indicates Farm Property Tax Burden Is Lighter
The 1936 Farm Family Living Outlook shows property tax share shrinking from 97% in 1912 to 64.5% in 1935 as special taxes rise. County budgets foresee a 12.8% county, 4.1% city, and 4.25% district increase, with rural schools down 1.35%. The 3.1 mill state levy, though the largest, will be offset by sales tax refunds, keeping overall burden steady.
