Jackson County Board of Review considers tax appeals large Empson case
The Jackson County Board of Review opened a 30 day session in Brownstown on June 1 to examine adjustments for mortgage and soldier exemptions and to review supplemental lists. The Empson Grassy Fork township petition may trigger the largest tax adjustment as a dredge ditch rebuilt last winter drains into the Muscatatuck and affects land in Scott Washington and Jackson counties. The state ruling on mortgage exemptions prompts many co owned properties to face higher tax bills due to the removal of multiple exemptions.
