City Faces Tax Base Threat From Appeals
Property tax appeals in Chester total an estimated 284000 dollars, about 19 percent of current collections. City Assessor Neil Montella warns homeowners and merchants could bear higher bills unless substitute taxation is found and notes the city lost 3 million in real estate assessments over the last two years due to demolitions and successful appeals. Large apartment complexes are among those seeking reassessment as current deadline passed September 1, 1981.
