Personal Properly
' Owners Advised to
File Tax Return Now
A recent r-ullng lay Judge
* George Folta in Third District
Court regarding obligations of
persons within the city of Anch
orage to pay taxes on personal
property applies also to persons
living within the Palmer School
District, the school tax accessor,
William Head, pointed out this
week.
Names of these taxpayers who
own only automobiles, furniture
and other items of personal prop
erty do not apear on many lists.
• They may not be notified direct
ly. The tax assessor points out,
however, that all persons who fail
to make a personal property tax
return and pay personal property
taxes are liable not only for the
v amount of the taxes plus penalties
* and interest, but also for payment
of fine upon conviction for failure
to file.
The assessor requested again
this week that all persons who
have resided within the Palmer
School District prior to March 15
Df this year and who own only
personal property to call or write
and assessment forms will be
given them.
It is felt that many persons are
reluctant to file such returns and
pay a personal property tax be
cause they do not understand the
purpose for which they’re asked
to pay the tax. Every dollar of
tax collected on both real and
personal property within the Pal
mer School District is spent di
rectly for operation of the local
school—or schools, as the case
may be soon.
The School Board must assess
and collect this tax, as the Ter
ritorial law requires, to supple
ment the Territorial grants for
education. The Territorial share
’ amounts to 75 percent of most
of the operational costs. The re
maining 25 percent plus 100 per-]
. cent of other operational costs
must be paid for out of real and
personal taxes collected within
the school district.
*• The assessor will gladly co
operate with anyone needing in
formation heir) relative to real
