Exemption of New Commercial Machinery and Equipment
Many municipalities are now seeing the effects of the state legislation enacting an exemption of new commercial machinery and equipment. As such Rod Franz, Salina, assembled a listing of the reduction of personal property values of various cities and counties. This information makes no assumptions on the increase in overall taxable assessed value. Nor does the information make the assumption that all reductions are exclusively the result of the legislation enacted.
