Notice on Improvement Assessments for Leased Lands
Improvements on leased lands not owned by the lessee are taxed to the landowner unless a designated form is filed by Jan 1 or Mar 1 following changes. The filing requests personal property assessment for specified improvements, with notice to the lessee, and tax collection by levy against the landowner.
Bond rate shifts tied to senate action on municipal bonds
Tiemann notes the senate finance committee's retention of tax exempt status for municipal bonds spurred a rate decline. The Bond Buyer index shows rates at 6.14 percent on Oct 9, 5.92 percent on Oct 17, then rising to 6.79 percent by Jan 2. Federal meat and poultry inspection costs about 50 cents per person annually, funded by a tax and ensuring sanitary production and truthful labeling with grants to states.
