County Assessor May Be Next Step In Tax Reform
The legislature nears action on tax reform with a recommended move to replace township assessors and create a state board of assessment review. A county assessor would be appointed by a supervisor board, county clerk, auditor, and treasurer, shielding officials from direct political pressure while modernizing valuation methods. Analysts urge retrenchment and a shift to tax on land earnings, criticizing the old fourth-valuation method as confusing and inflated in appearance.
