City Council backs full reevaluation to ease tax deadlock
The City Council endorsed a plan to revalue all property for the 1977 tax roll to resolve a deadlock with the PISD Board over the joint tax office. Trustees will consider the plan at an 8 p.m. meeting in the administration building. Council members say a total reevaluation will better support construction bonds and meet higher local funding standards.
