Ind. Courts - "Clark County's property-tax lawsuit to be heard Oct. 28"
Ben Zion Hershberg reports this afternoon in the Louisville Courier Journal:
The Indiana Tax Court has scheduled a hearing on Oct. 28 over the Indiana Department of Local Government Finance’s denial of Clark County’s request for a special $7 million property-tax increase last year.The department of local government finance said it was denying the tax increase — called an excess levy — because it was based on the county council’s decision to cut property tax collections by 25 percent in 2007. The department said it couldn’t allow such special tax increases if they were due to intentional tax reductions.
In its lawsuit before the court, Clark County is now asking for a one-time $3.5 million special tax increase and a $1.5 million continuing increase in its property-tax base. * * *
The hearing is to be held at 12:30 p.m. in Room 300 of the Jefferson County Courthouse in Madison.
