Assessed Valuation Up $3 Million Here
A building boom for Monroe produced a record increase of 3.21 million dollars in assessed value. City Assessor Orville R. Evans credited new annexations, major industries, subdivisions and revaluations for homes, with Park View Estates and East Side Terrace added and 123 building permits boosting totals. Manufacturing rises driven by Advance Transformer and Moore Business Farms, plus larger mercantile and personal property gains, helped offset decreases from land sales. The surge aims to stabilize the tax rate next year, though school officials caution impact may be limited.
