Maxwell Contrasts Tax Valuation on Adams Corporation
Lawyer for Adams Corporation argues the state's valuation of intangible property is too high and based on flawed methods. He contends the total value of the company’s taxable assets in the state differs from the assessed 5.455 million, urging reductions tied to asset types, depreciation, and physical property in various counties. The hearing before the state Board of Tax Commissioners also questioned use of two freight cars, trains, and equipment in determining value.
