Board certifies special assessments for Home Road, Green Meadows Drive and Rolles & Piat Road

The Delaware County Board of Commissioners certified special assessments for construction of road improvements on Home Road and Green Meadows Drive in Orange Township and for Rolles and Piat Road in Berlin Township.

Erica Stetler, deputy administrator and counsel, said the special assessment legislation requires properties be placed on the tax duplicate when a certificate of occupancy is issued. Stetler reported county building safety staff confirmed which properties have received occupancy and the assessments will be sent to the auditor for collection next year.

For Rolles and Piat Road, Stetler said prior assessments covered development on the east side of the road and the current certification will cover development on the west side. Both resolutions (25-697 and 25-698) were approved by unanimous voice vote with Commissioners Barb Lewis, Gary Merrill and Jeff Benton voting "aye."

No appeals or adjustments were recorded in the meeting; staff indicated collection will proceed through the auditor's office in the next tax cycle.
