County Assessor Urges 110 Million Tax Assessment Rise
Chief Assessor Martin Gregor asks commissioners to approve a 110 million boost to the county’s taxable assessment. He recommends using at least 40 percent of a 750 million final valuation to fund the new 1960 tax program, with state law permitting up to 75 percent. If adopted, the first year could lift total assessed value to about 582.5 million, a 392.5 million rise from 190 million. Commissioner action is due by Friday when Gregor reports to Judge Burton Laub.
