County High Assessments Seen for Off Year Increase
County Judge T R Bandy announced that the off year property assessment in the county and two cities will raise total assessments by more than 1.5 million dollars. County property now assessed around 26 million dollars is seen as at least four million below fair value. The assessor and deputies have surveyed the entire county to place every taxable acre on the books, with the next year likely pushing the increase past two million dollars as property never before taxed joins the rolls. Judge Bandy praised the assessor’s work but noted the aggregate taxable value is still below its potential.
