Tax Valuation Hearing For Kress Building
Testimony continued Wednesday on a city board of equalization hearing to set the assessed value of the Kress building and a smaller building leased to Three Sisters. City assessments total 1,297,880, up 421,447 from last year, with Kress seeking 752,?2 as indicated. The firm argues depreciation due to business downturn, while the city contends no depreciation for new structures. If upheld, city aid school taxes would rise to 59 percent of net profit, up from 47.3 the previous year. A follow up hearing for the Walgreens property at Houston and Navarro will occur after the press hearing.
