Assessment story correction noted
Correction issued for the Pella reevaluation report. County assessor Merle Maddy’s line about a $175 average increase or $15 tax rise was incorrect. Only a small percentage of Pella homes see an increase, and those parcels rise about $15 on average. Agricultural 4-H projects for the Southern Iowa Fair may be entered at the Extension Office in Oskaloosa starting July 6 with a noon July 25 deadline.
