Knoxville Tax Levy For 1949 Will Be Lower
Knoxville property taxes for 1948 show a reduced tax rate under the new county assessor plan. The total mill levy including schools was 95.26 for 1948, down from 100.52 in 1947, a variance of 8.269 mills. Per thousand of property value the 1948 tax is 95.262, versus 103.52 in 1947, with many districts awaiting final figures. The change reflects equalization and adjustments in personal property values and new city buildings, while residential and business valuation shifts also contributed. Officials expect similar reductions in other Marion county towns once rates are finalized.
