Compromise On Jones County Tax Assessment
Jones county officials traveled to Des Moines to oppose a 7 percent rise in farm land values and a 20 percent increase in Anamosa and Monticello real estate valuations. The farm land hike was cut to 4 percent, while the city real estate rise was left intact with promises to adjust valuations to ease potential hardships. The state equalization commission aims for uniform assessment at 60 percent of actual value.
