Delaware County Treasurer Proposes Joining Trex Tax-Intercept Program to Recover Unpaid Debts

Brad, the county treasurer, told the council the Trex program is a tax-refund exchange and compliance system administered by the Association of Indiana Counties (AIC) and the state treasurer’s Trust Indiana program. He said the system lets counties refer debts — including property tax delinquencies and court costs — for intercept from state tax refunds and pass a small administrative cost to the debtor. Brad said participation requires county registration and debtor notification, and recommended commissioners sign a memorandum of understanding and enact participation in November or December so the county could begin on January 3, consistent with AIC timelines.
