Cochise County Valuation Slashed by State Tax Commission
The State Tax Commission cut Cochise county's taxable property by about 1.85 million dollars in Phoenix, lowering the assessed total from 145,373,556 to 143,525,605. The changes impact mines, land, cattle, and city lots, with a 51 cent tax rate established for 1922 and a likely slight rise in the county rate due to the reduced valuation.
