Howard County boosts tax assessment ratio to 18 percent
State Assessor Smithson reports Howard County raised its assessments to the 18 percent minimum required by law, easing turnback concerns.

The equalization board helped push the push, but a constant review and addition of assessments is needed to bear taxpayers' fair burden.
