Resident of Landisville Campmeeting fights to have his taxes raised
LANCASTERONLINE
A Landisville property owner believes he — and all his neighbors in a religious campmeeting group — should pay higher taxes.
Luke Hess, who owns a cottage in Landisville Campmeeting, told Hempfield school board Tuesday that the 27-acre tract along Church Street is improperly registered with the Lancaster County assessment office.
Property owners there pay a lower tax rate than they should, Hess says, "due to false information given to the county years ago."
It may be, according to board president Bill Jimenez, the first time a Hempfield resident asked the board for higher taxes.
