Small Homes Face Higher Taxes in Equalization Move
The Board of Equalization targets increasing valuations on small properties while favoring big taxpayers. Small homes near Lake Yale and Lake Uaten area see boosts from $30 to $250 and more, with many increases over the 400 to 500 range. The plan aims to balance shifts toward larger taxpayers and potential personal property tax rises for major firms like the U S company. Several railroads and utilities may see adjustments, though some large local operators are slated for tax relief.
