Assessors to Request

(Continued from page six)
But a farm is considered as a
unit, land and buildings. For the
farm residence, p standard house*
value table, the same as is used
in the urban areas can be used
But for the barn and outbuildings,
Jie value must be determined by
the condition, age and type of
building
Take a bank barn, for example,
t'o build one today would be
rohibitive, so the rule of cost
mnus depreciation can not be
tsed m such a case. Age is not
onsidered if the barn is in sound
ondition.
But ion most farms the value
>f the buildings is usually equal
o the value of the land. There
ore if the value of the house and
ither outbuildings is found, the
;alue of the barn should be equal
o that figure subtracted fiom the
and value. -
There are several factors taken
into consideration when apprais
ing land for assesment. The
amount of farm land, pasture
land, timber, swamp and non
faim land is proportioned. Usual
ly the accessability of the farm
is considered
When assessing the Jouildings,
the cunent paint job and other
repair items will not be consider
ed What will lower the assessed
value of a building aie rotting
timbers, sagging walls low cost
materials used m construction

cording to Clemmson. First of all
the tax load per ndmdual prop
erty owner will be equalized. Tho
man with a 8100,000 fai m will pay
propeity taxes in proportion with
*he man whose property is worth
only $lO,OOO.
Another effect, indirectly, will'
be that records in the county ot
tices will be brought up to date
and made more usable.
Still another eflect will be that
a true value of the County can
be determined. Although they are
not property tax payers, schools,
churches, state and federal prop-i
erty, and the property of utilities'
and rail lines will be assessed.
One thing to remember when
you are visited this spring and
summer is that all county tax em
ployees will be carrying identifi-’r
cation cards bearing the county 1
seal. If you have any doubt as toi
the identity of the persons to as
sess you, ask to see this identifi
cation.
It is expected that some per
sons will deny the assessing teams
entry on to the farm or into build
ings. In such a case, the team will
make the best assessment possible
on information they have and
then up grade the assessment of
the farm by one degree.
The result is that that farmer
probably would be taxed at a
higher rate than his neighbors.
He could then, of course, ask for (
a tax assessment hearing. ,
The assessment teams will not
start visiting farms until assess
ment of boroughs is complete.
Present plans call for Lititz to be
the first urban area to be re-as
sessed. Complete plans, including
areas and dates, have not been 1
formed.
