Tax records dispute over omitted property valuation
The court order traces the tax action since the assessor’s request for a declaration of the company’s personal property value. Three forms were filed with values ranging from 20 000 to 29 569, and the judge notes the testimony carries limited weight without more observation of the statute. The city council chose not to appeal and will reassess the firm’s omitted property this year after an audit by a Madison firm found personal property listed at 34 454, based on books not physical inventory.
