Supervisors certify eligible suspended-tax list for FY25 after Department of Human Services verification
Summary
The board certified the county’s list of tax-suspended individuals for fiscal year 2025 after verifying eligibility with the Department of Human Services; the county will place names on the suspended list and those taxes can become due if beneficiaries sell property or their status changes.
The Benton County Board of Supervisors authorized certification of the county’s FY25 suspended-tax list, after staff verified eligibility with the Department of Human Services (DHS).
Staff explained the annual process: the county checks with DHS to confirm which individuals qualify for suspended taxes under applicable state or local programs. If a person’s status changes—such as a sale of property or loss of eligibility—suspended taxes become due.
Supervisors noted that the list typically fluctuates year to year and that a portion of the prior list was dropped after verification. The board authorized county staff (Tracy, the treasurer) to sign the certification letter to DHS and process the suspended list accordingly. The motion passed unanimously.
