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.
