Show 2A Appeals Can Be Made Lakeside Review South, Wednesday, September 5, 1984 Residents Should Have Tax Notices Most DaFARMINGTON vis County residents should have received their general tax notices in the mail.

But the board only has the au- -, ) thority to deal with assessed valuation if it is out of line," he said. The value of the property and the amount of the tax can be ap. pealed.

Davis County residents, however, will only find an 8 to' 10 percent tax increase over what they paid last year. This is partly due- to the flood control mill levy approved by voters, he said. in some counties, the taxation increase is over two times what it - was last year, Saunders said.
