During a recent government meeting, officials addressed the pressing issue of delinquent mobile home taxes, which currently amount to $26,212. The discussion highlighted the importance of these funds for the county's treasury and the ongoing efforts by the treasurer's office to collect outstanding payments. Officials noted that the office is actively sending out delinquency notices and has begun placing liens on properties where taxes remain unpaid.

The treasurer's office is also implementing a process that allows individuals to pay the delinquent taxes on behalf of property owners, potentially leading to ownership of the property after a three-year period if taxes remain unpaid. This initiative has reportedly encouraged some property owners to settle their debts.

Additionally, the meeting addressed inquiries from residents regarding the possibility of consolidating multiple property assessments into a single one. Officials clarified that such a consolidation is not feasible due to fairness concerns, as it could lead to numerous similar requests from other property owners.

The meeting also touched on community feedback, including concerns raised by resident Kathy Brecky about the county's financial direction. However, further discussion on this topic was deferred to a later point in the meeting. Overall, the session underscored the county's commitment to addressing tax delinquencies and maintaining equitable policies for all residents.
