Tax Readjustment Delayed but Tax Board Pushes 15% Boost
The Ohio Board of Tax Appeals told county auditors there will be no reprieve for taxpayers and no postponement of the tax equalization program beyond 1953. It has requested a 15 percent upward adjustment in Butler County assessments, a move opposed by County Auditor R. H. Smith who cites a recent reappraisal and a Legislature approved formula. The program aims to raise property values to at least 50 percent of market selling price during 1946-48, and the board provided auditors with a compilation of questions and answers to aid county implementations.
