Roy Donnell doesn’t agree that a home he owns on Wallace Avenue has gone up in value 10 percent since last tax year, so he has appealed to reduce the $79,400 value placed on it by the Bartholomew County assessor.
Now, Donnell waits.
He filed a formal appeal more than three months ago but hasn’t gotten a hearing from Assessor Lew Wilson. The delay has occurred because the assessor’s office has been swamped with roughly 2,100 property appeals this year, about four times the typical number.
