Marshall County assessors back value-based property taxation plan
A meeting of eleven of twelve Marshall County assessors in Lacon heard support for a six year policy shift toward assessments based on article value rather than uniform rates for all items. Proponents cited alignment with the state board of equalization and fairness to taxpayers, while critics noted past opposition. The group reviewed books and forms as they prepare to implement the new method.
