Tax Assessor blocks reestablishment of 1958 appraisal plan
In a courthouse meeting the County Tax Assessor Carter Sutton refused to commit to cooperate with the Hope School Board and local tax units on a revival of the 1958 property appraisal program. The decision followed arguments that Hope and neighboring counties need stronger assessments to support school funding and millage restrictions. Authorities cited low assessing ratios and reviewed practices from Magnolia El Dorado and others to guide potential re‑assessment efforts.
