Board Holds Key to New Tax Rate
Sullivan county faces a cautious path to a fiscal 1936 37 tax rate staying under two dollars as the county tax equalization board reviews new assessment reports. The board convened at Kingsport with expectations of a Saturday finish, aiming to determine if $5 million in countywide gains can keep the rate below the two dollar mark amid a regional construction boom and a projected $83? million total property value increase. A special August session will hear the board’s report and set the new tax rate.
