West Virginia Tax Commissioner Townsend disagrees with the State Constitutional Commission on real estate taxation, urging limits on other property while opposing a flat cap. He argues the commission’s proposed 50 cent cap on personal and agricultural property is hollow and tied to real estate limits, and notes the commission also suggests various exemptions and rates for intangible and other property.
