Tax Assessment—
(Continued from page 1)
and tax bills; and in collection
*work. Therefor, the assessor stat
ed. only part of the city and a
bandful of farms have been re
assessed for 1957. This year the
city will be completed, Wakeland
zsxrid and work will start in the
school district.
Property owners are asked to
bear with the assessor on minor
errors in valuation, but to call
tx> his attention errors in descrip
tion, names, addresses, and gross
over valuation. If property has
Mot been assessed higher than
last year property owners are
asked to remember the following
points before protesting to the
assessor:
The basis for real property as
sessment is its full and true val
ue, which is usually arrived at by
comparative, conservative sale
prices for land ,and by using 80
percent of contract construction
cost less depreciation for build
ings. An assessment pretty close
to what the property owner
-would sell for is a good one, and
Mot too high, Wakeland said.
Comparison with former as
sessment or other property not
.recently assessed in this ditrict
is meaningless.
Asking for special treatment, or
protesting the tax itself, the mill
rate, and taxes in general to the
assessor is a waste of time, he
pointed out. The assessor may
agree with many of the senti
ments, but can do little about it.
