Property valuations rise could cut taxes in Douglas County
Douglas County Assessor Darwin Rogers announced a preliminary $4,024,860 rise in real estate valuations driven by new buildings and improved lots. If taxing agency budgets stay level, the higher base would lower the city of Lawrence levy to about 98 mills from 101.41. The county totals include $71,628,555 in real estate valuations with personal and corporate values still to be finalized. Corporate values remain uncertain while state aid to schools may add roughly $490,000 to county coffers, aiding tax relief or offsetting budget increases.
