The total market value of real estate in Altonville has steadily declined over the past four years. This decline has meant that the overall figure on which the city’s property tax is based—the assessed value of that real estate—has also declined. The percentage of assessed value that was paid as property taxes to the city, however, did not change from year to year during this period. ALTONVILLE房地产市场价值在过去四年稳定下降.这样的下降意味财产税建立在其上的总体数据(即反映房地产估计价值)也会降低.但是作为财产税交给城市的(房地产)估计价值的百分比并没有改变.
分析: 可理解为:市场价值(区别于帐面价值)也正向影响总体数据=反映房地产估计价值, 那么我们从前两句知道估计价值下降. 最后一句说百分比没有变 .SO 财产税总体收入下降.

(作为财产税收入比率在过去四年稳步下降) C.The amount of revenue that Altonville collected from property taxes was lower last year than it was four years ago. (作为财产税的收入总量去年比四年前低) D.During the past four years, Altonville officials increased tax rates on other sources of revenue such as retail sales and business profits. 无关项 E.Altonville will soon require property owners to pay a higher percentage of the assessed value of their property as property tax. 无关项
