Farm Values For Taxation Vary Widely
WAPAKONETA Ohio AP A study by the State Taxation Department shows wide variations in farm appraisals for tax purposes. Auditors from 11 counties met to fix a yardstick for statewide reappraisal. Some counties would need 40 percent increases to reach 1926 levels, though officials stressed not adopting those year’s valuations for all real estate. Real property in Miami County sits at 7.75 percent under 1926 valuations. Champaign County at 47.53 percent under. County officials discussed equalization and planned regional meetings to begin reappraisal machinery, noting much real estate is valued at low mood levels.
