Values of seven properties were lowered or leveled out Monday as Warren County supervisors addressed tax protests. Issues remained on values assigned to two large employers.

Owners of homes, businesses and farmland may file formal protests to their land values for 30 days after the county board OKs tax rolls in July. Two of the nine recommendations by Deputy Tax Assessor Jim Agent OK’d were delivered in person earlier this month and, in a break from recent custom, were considered along with written objections.

Most involved rental homes or apartment complexes in central and east Vicksburg, the section reappraised by the Tax Assessor’s Office this year. Five were revisited by field appraisers or by Agent after the initial round of reappraisals this spring.

They included:

• Homes at 507 Farmer St., 815 Belmont St. and 3211 Victory Ave., all owned by De Reul, an independent candidate for District 2 supervisor. No new value for 2011 was recommended for the Farmer Street house, which totaled $51,850 but was 44.4 percent less than the $93,230 placed on it for 2010. The Belmont Street home, valued at $40,570 for 2011, wasn’t changed but was 7.4 percent lower due to some restoration on the house, Agent said. The Victory Avenue property was valued at $15,400, cut from $38,380, due to its condition, Agent said.

• Rental units anchored at 2135 Cherry St., owned by Patricia Smith, a Warren County Election Commission member and a former member of the Board of Supervisors. The $202,960 value was based on verbal appeal and included a 10 percent cut on the land calculation and a .7 percent cut on the structures compared to 2010.

Reul and Smith had filed verbal appeals on Aug. 2.

• Homestead and rentals at 1816 Cherry St. and 1703 Monroe St., owned by John and Sandra Shingler. On the Monroe Street duplex, a final $85,130 value showed a 25 percent reduction on the land and 20 percent on the structure. The Cherry Street duplex was valued at $216,900 and the structure calculation cut 9.1 percent.

• A rental unit at 1315 China St., owned by Alexander and Evan Morales. A final $44,260 value was 5.2 percent less than originally recommended and was based on a bottom floor used for storage and not living space.

• Homestead property at 1005 Main St., owned by Malcolm and Nelda Sampey. A $162,870 value was based in part on a 13 percent reduction in the structure’s value.
