Frederick Plans New Property Reassessment
A Friday meeting of the Mayor and Board of Aldermen authorized sending a formal request to the State Tax Commission for permission to re assess all real and personal property in Frederick. The city’s taxable basis is about 6.73 million dollars, based on the 1908 assessment plus intervening adjustments, and officials expect a significant increase if a re assessment is approved. City Attorney Edward J. Smith coordinated with the commission, with Attorney John S. Newman to present the city’s case at an upcoming conference when Smith is away on vacation. If granted, reassessment work would begin promptly to set a new lower basis for this year's levy.
