Williamsport Assessment Hearings Set for This Fall
Williamsport district hearings begin October 25 before Supervisor of Assessments Simon Clopper. About five percent of 3,100 owners protested new figures. Appeals go to the County Tax Review Court after the hearing, not to the Board of County Commissioners. The five percent rate is not deemed high, and owners should argue any nonuniformity with area properties. The Williamsport district will be completed in time to appear in 1961 tax bills.
