State Board Cuts Carroll Banks Taxes By Half
Carroll County officials are stunned as the state board of tax commissioners orders roughly a 50 percent reduction in 1930 assessments for the Carroll County Loan and Trust Co Citizens National Bank Delphi State Bank and the Cutler Bank. The cuts slash taxes owed prompting refunds and higher delinquencies with the county facing a loss of about 1400 in tax revenue and potential refunds to the Cutler bank. County officials plan discussions with the state tax board to understand the basis for the reductions and expect delinquency to rise by around 45000 compared with last year.
