True Value Proposed As Tax Limit Base
The Senate gave final approval to a constitutional amendment allowing localities to base tax limits on true value instead of assessed valuation. If approved by voters next November, it becomes effective January 1, 1950 and expands limits for 52 of 62 counties, with cities under 125,000 allowed to tax up to two percent of equalized value for general purposes and separate school levies. Cities over 100,000 retain a two percent cap, not easing the fiscal burden on larger cities.
