Shawnee County Fights Reappraisal Order
Shawnee County filed suit in district court Monday to block enforcement of the State Board of Tax Appeals order. A temporary restraining order was secured as officials note the 1963 law requires full valuation and 30 percent assessment. State figures show 13 counties finished reappraisal and 65 are in progress. County claims the order is arbitrary and against public interest and must submit names of appraisers by June 30.
