County Plans
To Re-evaluate
Property Taxes
An ambitious plan to
re-evaluate county
property by 1980 was
outlined tor county
commissioners during a
regular session Tuesday
by Hugh Lawson,
chairman of the Houston
County Board of Tax
Assessors.
Lawson told com
missioners teams would
be assigned to inspect
and revalue some 15,000
parcels of property. He
said the teams will be
composed of three per
sons each, and that
previous experience
indicated it would take
about 450 days to com
plete the project.
According to Lawson,
professional appraisers
will have to be engaged to
evaluate industrial
property.
Commissiones asked
Lawson to get bids from
appraisers and furnish all
cost estimates on the
project and report back
to them in order to get the
project underway in July.
County Attorney
Walker Burke said there
was no reason for
property owners to be
alarmed about the
project because the
property re-evaluation
could amount to a tax
decrease rather than an
increase.
In other action com
missioners set qualifying
fees for candidates
