ASSESSED VALUATION OF PROPERTY, BASIS OF ASSESSMENT,
AND TAXES LEVIED: 1910
[Reprint of pages 65 to 68, 87, and 232 to 247 of Bureau of the Census report of Financial Statistics of Cities Having an Estimated
Population of Over 30,000 in 1910.]
The tables and explanatory text contained in this pamphlet are reprinted from the Bureau of the
Census report of Financial Statistics of Cities Having an Estimated Population of Over 30,000 in 1910, and
present summaries of the assessed valuation of property, basis of assessment, and taxes levied by the cities
covered by the report for the year 1910. The pamphlet is prepared for those who wish to use the figures of the
tables apart from the complete report of which they form a part. The attention of these persons, and of
others who have occasion to use the tables, is called to the fact that the percentages given in the column of
Table 29 with the heading “Reported basis of assessment in practice,” although based upon the statement
of local officials, in most cases are larger than the actual basis. Persons having definite information with
reference to the actual basis of assessment in practice in their cities will confer a favor by forwarding the
same to the Bureau of the Census, Division of Statistics of Cities, Washington, D. C.
Table 29.
Assessed valuation of property .—The valuations given
in Table 29 are those of property which is subject to
taxation for purposes of municipal government. In
certain states—notably Pennsylvania—these differ
somewhat from the valuations on which state and
county taxes are levied. This difference results largely
from the fact that certain classes of property, especially
that of corporations, are in these states subject to state
taxation only, so that the valuation of such property
does not appear in the report of property taxed by the
city. In some instances the assessed valuation of an
independent division of the government of a city, such
as a school or park district, or of six counties in the
case of cities of Group I, differs from that of the city
corporation. These differences are due to (1) differ¬
ences in the areas of the city corporation and of the in¬
dependent division; for example, the school districts of
most Ohio cities, the sanitary district of Chicago, and
the bridge district of Portland, Me., include territory
outside of the city limits, while some school districts
include only a portion of the territory within the city;
(2) different bases of assessment, as in Dubuque, Iowa,
where the city makes its own assessments of property
while the school district uses a totally different assess¬
ment made by the county for thersame property; or (3)
differences in the classes of property subject to taxa¬
tion, as in St. Louis, Mo., where the school district taxes
certain corporation franchises which are not subject to
city taxation. Where the area of an independent di¬
vision exceeds that under the jurisdiction of the city
corporation, it has been found difficult to show accu¬
rately the data pertaining to the city in distinction
from those pertaining to the portion of the district out¬
side the city. In such cases the Bureau of the Census,
in making up the report for the government of a city as
a whole, includes the aggregate figures for the various
independent divisions, unless the assessed valuation of
the independent division exceeds that of the city cor¬
poration when computed on a common basis by 10 per
cent or more. In the latter case the same figures are
shown for the independent division as for the city cor¬
poration. In only two cities, however, Joliet, Ill., and
Pueblo, Colo., did the valuations of any independent
division other than the counties combined with the
cities of Group I, exceed that of the cities by as much as
10 per cent; so that for all cities, except these two and
nine cities of Group I, the total valuations and the total
tax levies of all independent divisions have been used.
The 'table gives separately for the city corporation
and for each independent division the valuations sub¬
ject to general property taxes and those subject to
special property taxes.

FINANCIAL STATISTICS OF CITIES.
The classification of property belonging to railroads,
telegraph companies, and a number of similar corpo¬
rations, varies in the different states; in some states
such properties are classified as real, in some as
personal, in others as both real and personal, and in
still others are given a separate classification. Where
such property is given a separate classification and is
taxed for city purposes the valuat ion given it is shown
in the table under the heading ‘‘Other property,” ;
under which are also tabulated those property and
franchise valuations of corporations for which the
details secured were insufficient to supply data for a
more complete tabulation.
Reported basis of assessment in practice. —The
reported basis of assessment in practice is for most
cities an estimate, furnished by city officials, of the
percentage which the assessed valuation of property
forms of its true value. For certain of the cities of
Minnesota, Washington, and Wisconsin the figures were
obtained from the state tax commissions and represent
approximately the proportion that the assessed value
bears to the selling value, the figures given having
been determined by a critical investigation involving
a comparison between the assessed valuations of prop¬
erty sold and the considerations received at such sales.
The figures for both real and personal property for
most cities outside of these three states are far from
correct, although those for real property are the more
trustworthy.
Tax rates. —The rates of levy for general property
taxes per $1,000 of assessed valuation and per $1,000
of reported true value are given in detail for the
several taxing districts. In the case of cities in which
property is taxed at two or more rates the figures
shown in Table 29 represent average rates, the specific
rates of levy for the various divisions of the govern¬
ment of such cities being given in Table XXXII,
which follows. The rates based on the reported
true value are subject to all the errors in the
estimates given in the column headed “ Reported
basis of assessment in practice (per cent of true
value).”
Tax levies. —Under the heading “General property
taxes” are included all general property taxes levied
for all divisions of the municipal governments. In
certain cases the result obtained by applying the given
rate to the assessed valuation differs from the amount
of levy reported, the variation being due to some one
or more of the many factors affecting the tax lists,
such as the addition of supplementary tax lists,
changes in valuation, and the abatement of taxes.
These variations are all trifling, however, and are
referred to only for the purpose of calling attention to
the complexity of the data relating to taxes and the
difficulty of securing accuracy in all details.
Special methods of assessment and taxation. —The
assessed valuation of property subject to general
property taxes in divisions of the city government
having two or more rates of levy, together with the
specific levies in the different districts of the cities, are
given in Table XXXII. Table XXXIII similarly
shows the assessed valuation subject to special
property taxes and the specific levies for cities levy¬
ing such taxes at two or more rates. These tables
thus show for each city the assessed valuations of
property subject to different rates of taxation, to¬
gether with the local rates and the amounts of taxes
levied.

Table XXXIV shows the assessed valuation of
property subject to special property taxes together
with the special property taxes levied in New York
cities on bank stock and on mortgages recorded in
1910. The tax on bank stock is levied at the rate
of 1 per cent; that on mortgages is levied at the rate
of one-half of 1 per cent, and is collected by the
county, which, after deducting the cost of collection,
distributes the proceeds—one-half to the state and the
other half to the taxing district in which the mort¬
gaged property is situated. The bank tax levy for
Troy included $402 distributed to the Lansingburgh
school district.
