Tax dispute over Richmond Water Works charges and reassessment
Indiana county board of review cites missing prior-year listings as reason it cannot reassess Richmond City Water Works property for past years. Alfred Bavis alleges tax evasion by underreporting value. Public Utilities Commission had fixed a $750,000 valuation, while the company lists far lower figures. City faces $2,000, plus higher fixed charges, with potential rate hikes to cover costs, while officials push for economy and careful action to avoid revenue loss next year.
