Breakdown shows millage rate changes from 1950 onward for the Cedar Rapids school district area, covering most of the city. The data traces how taxes per thousand dollars of property value evolved as the district expanded and funding needs shifted over decades.
County Auditor John Burrill announced tentative 1963 property tax millage, with Cedar Rapids 98.379 for the city portion in the school district. The total levy falls 2.296 mills from last year due to Cleminshaw reassessment, though higher valuations may raise taxes for older homes while new houses gain breaks.
Burrill will complete levies after Wednesday and finish the tax books. Don Cover says tax lists and receipts will go to the treasurer by early January. About 70 000 tax statements will be mailed two weeks after the books arrive, with penalties starting April 1. Property owners are asked to wait on calls until mid January.
Cover notes that plate lines have shrunk to three or four people as more drivers buy early. By Friday close sales reached 12,080 for passenger cars, up 1,413 from last year’s 10,667 though Linn County has 2,000 more cars. Courthouse closes Monday Christmas Day and Jan 1.
An organizational and registration meeting for an engineer-in-training fundamental exam course will be held Thursday at 7 30 p m in the Link Belt Speeder classroom.
