MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) -- The Monongalia County Commission says they've found nothing wrong with a property owner's 1,531 percent tax increase.
Morgantown property owner Jim Jones filed a complaint with the commission because his property taxes increased from $285.90 to $4,663.44 after he refused to sell his property to Chief Deputy Assessor Bill Perry.
County Assessor Rodney Pyles says the property was reclassified as part of a routine audit, resulting in a tax hike. But Jones says it was retaliation.
Jones can appeal his complaint to the Monongalia County Circuit Court, and says he is considering it.
