Assessors to Equalize 40 Percent Valuation Basis
County deputy assessors gathered for a conference on uniform taxation. Assessor FE Chitwood outlined a plan to tax real estate and personal property at the same 40 percent of true value this year, replacing the prior split of 40 percent real estate and 60 percent personal. The move aims to curb concealment, ensure fairness with banks objecting to past discrimination, and align with state and Kansas court rulings. The change seeks honest listing of personal property and prevents disparities in tax burdens.
