Commissioners discuss restoring early-payment property tax discount; no motion advanced, presentation requested
Summary
A commissioner proposed restoring an early-payment property tax discount; the motion lacked a second, and staff was asked to present data at the July 21 meeting.
A Greene County commissioner proposed restoring an early-payment property tax discount — suggesting a 1% discount for early payments — but the motion did not receive a second. Commissioners asked county staff to prepare a presentation on the program for the July 21 meeting.
Commissioners discussed past versions of the discount, noting it previously included a two-tier structure (a larger discount for payment in the first month, a smaller discount in the second month). County staff said the program had been discontinued because uptake was low and provided to commissioners that the department head reported it was not widely used when in place. Commissioners asked staff to include historical participation and fiscal impact figures in the requested presentation.
Because there was no second to the motion, the board took no formal action and instead scheduled the informational presentation for July 21.
