County fiscal staff reported property tax totals due and paid for real estate and franchise taxes and the court accepted the settlement report by motion.
Henry County fiscal staff presented the annual property tax settlement to the court, reporting totals for real estate and franchise taxes and noting a small overpayment by the sheriff’s office. On real estate, the total due was $12,159,902.95 and total paid was $12,159,933.16. For franchise taxes, the transcript lists the amount due as $1,755,000.90 and paid as the same amount; the sheriff said the office had overpaid by $30.21 due to a taxpayer returning to pay by credit card. The combined total for property and franchise taxes was reported as $13,915,000,840.10 (as read in the meeting packet). Court members moved to accept the settlement report and the motion carried. The transcript noted a local policy that amounts under $10 are not required to be collected. The court’s acceptance authorizes the county to close the settlement and proceed with related accounting steps.
