Clarke County reassessment to finish by Friday officials say
Clarke County plans to complete the reassessment book and send it to Richmond by next Friday. County officials report a roughly 30 percent increase in assessed value driven by hearings and 350 requests for adjustments. The elderly tax relief and land use programs reduce tax revenue and target agricultural use. County board chairman Kenneth Shenk and members review hundreds of requests before final readjustments are sent to the commissioner of revenue.
