Des Moines Court Denies Mandamus Against Tax Refund Board
In Des Moines on December 13 the supreme court ruled that taxpayers must seek refunds of taxes through the board of review for alleged errors, not by mandamusing the county board of supervisors. Griswold Land & Credit Co. v. Pocahontas County Board of Supervisors held the path via district court and appeals to higher courts if needed. Justice Stevens states the remedy lies with objections to classification or tax levies before the board of review. improper levies or illegalities may prompt court action.
