Tax Commission Alters Cochise County Assessments
Following a visit by the state tax commission Cochise County will see changes in its assessment system this year. The initial focus is on taxing producing mines replacing the bullion tax, with an equitable distribution based on past year gross production and available data. The county may face a notable tax increase despite a countywide drop in gross production, due to litigation and mine shutdowns in Tombstone and ongoing evaluation of mine values and producing mine methods. The commission aims to base estimates on diverse outputs as it finalizes plans for Cochise rescission and new assessment practices.
