Mayor Cites Inequities In Equalization In Cedar Rapids
Cedar Rapids Mayor Donald Canney called 27 percent state equalization increases unfair to about 14 000 homeowners and urged the Iowa Department of Revenue to delay the boost. Vanguard Appraisals Inc president Bill Stewart said their Cedar Rapids survey cannot replace state ordered increases and would take weeks to complete for single family homes. The firm argued retroactive efficiency to 1975 could be possible if data and time allowed, but the 1976 posting deadline and hearing process remain. Page 14.
