Assessors Seek Equalized Land Values Across County
Township assessors face the main task of valuing real estate and farm land. A graduated scale is used to standardize land values from high grade to common pasture, with ranges per acre. Last year’s land total was over 25 million dollars, with only partial reductions after hearings. The 1927 improvements outside towns totaled nearly 4 million, inside towns over 5.6 million. The June board of equalization, with appointed members, faces a tougher job this year due to including land values alongside personal property.
