Taxation powers and assessors plan for 1921 values
Iowa counties face higher property valuations as state officers push increased assessments to cover rising costs. F W Esher, elected county auditor, calls a Jan 8 meeting of county assessors at the courthouse to set 1921 values, with Waterloo likely at 50 to 60 percent of value. Officials warn of higher taxes and possible levies to equalize across 99 counties, while farmers oppose increases of farm land by 20 to 33 1 3 percent and consider bankruptcy options to wipe liabilities. The outcome hinges on broader state guidance and local assessor actions in coming weeks.
