Franklin County Faces Four Million Dollar Property Loss
Franklin County reports a nearly four million dollar drop in total property valuation due to state tax commission reductions on rural land and city real estate, plus lower personal property assessments. County levy may rise to cover higher fixed debt, while townships and schools indicate levies will stay the same or fall. Douglas County tax compilation is underway with about 10,000 personal tax sheets to process, delaying final figures.
