Taxable property values in Muscatine County rise by seven million
Preliminary figures indicate Muscatine County's net valuation of taxable property may increase by about seven million this year. For 1965 realty plus personal property totaled 60,035,017 with 7,856,487 in public utilities. 1966 figures show higher gross real estate and personal property values, driven by Muscatine city reappraisals, while military service credits reduce the net in several categories. Public hearings for the 1967 budgets are slated for August, with county officials aiming to finalize next year’s fiscal plan by mid-August.
