Summary
Supervisors approved two tax-suspension requests under Iowa Code section 427.8 and passed three city property-tax abatements for Ottumwa by resolution.
The Wapello County Board of Supervisors approved two tax-suspension requests under Iowa Code section 427.8 and adopted three resolutions to abate property taxes for the city of Ottumwa.
The board approved a first-time tax suspension for the property at 912 Glenwood, with a staff member affirming the applicant met requirements under Iowa Code section 427.8 and that additional paperwork had been required. A motion to approve was made, seconded and passed unanimously.
A second suspension was approved as a corrected action from the prior meeting: staff said an earlier item involved a different property and the property now before the board qualified for suspension. The board recorded 309 Elmdale as the address discussed in that item and approved the suspension after motions and seconds.
The board also approved three abatement resolutions for the city of Ottumwa, identified in the meeting as Resolution 57-20-25, Resolution 58-20-25 and Resolution 59-20-25. The board confirmed some properties did not meet code and were processed as payments, while others qualified for abatement under the resolutions. Each abatement motion was moved, seconded and approved with recorded “Aye” votes.
No dissenting votes were recorded on these items at the meeting.
