Uniform Assessment Move Would Hike Hocking Taxes
Francis B. Douglas, board chairman, said a decision on uniform assessment would come within a week to ten days. Ohio Board of Tax Appeals seeks to fix assessment at 38 to 42 percent of true value, likely raising county taxes in most districts including Hocking County where it stands at 42 percent now. The change would rely on current market values rather than adjusted percentages, and hearings featured county and school officials concerned about adverse effects. A Senate bill seeks to delay action until 1972, potentially stalling the move.
