By News Dept.
The state ordered property equalization is now official and will see an 8 percent increase in valuation of agricultural land and a 13 percent for residential and commercial, both urban and rural.
Confirmation of the order was announced this week by Washington County Assessor Lil Perry.
The revision, which is not an increase in the tax levy itself, will affect taxes payable in 2000 (or first half in September, 2000 and second half in March, 2001).
Appeals in the assessments may be made to the Board of Review between October 15 and October 25, said Perry. Forms are available at the assessor’s office in the McCreedy Building in Washington.
Perry noted that the change was necessary since “we have had a hard time keeping up with the market” in valuation of property.
Earlier this year, she noted that state roll-back will lower the residential valuation to 12 percent.
