Indiana Taxpayers To Have Highest Rate

Taxpayers of Indiana will pay the highest property tax levy in history again this year, the estimated total to be collected this year is $948,202,127, which will be $96,024,865, or 11.3 per cent higher than last year. To finance this increase $67,834,116 will be a direct property tax levy, to which will be added $28,190,749 derived from one-eighth of the total collections of sales and individual gross income taxes remitted from October 1, 1967, through September 30, 1968, distributed by the state and designated “Property Tax Relief”. Again, new replacement taxes failed to stop the increase in property tax levies.
