Clarke County Taxpayers See Levy Reduction Across Districts
Clarke county records show total local taxes drop about 15 percent from 1931 to 1932 aided by the transfer of road maintenance to the state. Road levy elimination lowers district rates to 1.10, while real estate assessments rise slightly and personal property drops. The change saves farmers and utilities money, with a tax relief primarily from highway consolidation.
