Real Estate Valuation Hike Skews Percentage Yet Taxes May Ease
County officials announce a fifty percent valuation trigger will raise real estate assessments for tax purposes. Real estate owners face higher percentages, but Assessor Roy Gish says the dollar impact may be smaller as many balance personal and property tax bills. The board sets percentage increases by area including Farm lands 180 percent and several towns around 120 to 330 percent. Gish notes some cases may see notable increases due to undervalued past assessments.
