(Atlantic, Iowa) – A public hearing was held this (Tuesday) morning in Atlantic, with regard to the proposed Property Tax Levy in Cass County. Auditor Kathy Somers explained the tax rate, as proposed, and which property owners should have received by now.

The rate is lower, she said because of some reductions approved by the Board of Supervisors.

There were only two comments made by the public during the meeting, including from a former resident of the County, and another who said in general, taxes are “way out of hand,” as described in information from Iowans for Tax Relief.

The Board took no action on the proposed levy at this time.
