Board waives Clean and Green rollback taxes for parcel sale involving Zimmermans
Summary
Board approved a waiver of rollback taxes tied to the sale of land enrolled in the Clean and Green program to Buffalo Community Church; district solicitor/administrator explained the rollback tax liability and waiver process.
The Lewisburg Area School District board approved waiving rollback taxes connected to the sale of two acres owned by the Zimmerman family, property enrolled in a Clean and Green program.
District staff explained that properties enrolled in Clean and Green (agricultural/land-use tax program) can trigger rollback taxes when parcel ownership or use changes; taxing authorities may waive such taxes at their discretion. The waiver before the board relates to a planned two-acre sale to Buffalo Community Church and mirrors prior actions taken for a similar parcel swap.
Motion and vote: Ms. Krauss moved the motion and Ms. Lyons seconded. The board voted by roll call (Dr. Mattis — yes; Mr. Fetzer — yes; Dr. Graham — yes; Dr. Grant — yes; Mr. Heath — yes; Dr. Jablonski — yes; Mrs. Krauss — yes; Miss Lyons — yes). The motion carried.
Implementation: The board’s approval authorizes the district’s taxing authority position on the rollback-waiver request; staff will complete necessary paperwork with the other taxing entities and with the property owners.
