Newton Sees Taxable Property Value Rise by Nine Hundred Thousand
Newton reports a tax liable property valuation increase this year totaling about 944 850 dollars, bringing the overall valuation to 7 130 397 dollars compared with 6 185 547 dollars in 1914. The register of deeds forwards details to the State Tax Commission for review, which can adjust the valuation if it deems it too low. Catawba remains a pauper county receiving more from the state than it pays in, a point of contention for some progressives.
