County treasurer reviews tax abstract; staff notes uncollected balance and end of intangible tax year
Summary
Staff reviewed the county tax abstract, reported recent state approval to print tax notices and discussed delinquent accounts. The treasurer’s office said a portion of taxes remain uncollected and that 2025 is the final year for intangible taxation as described by staff.
County staff presented the adjusted tax abstract used to balance the county's 2025 tax roll and described the components that feed into the abstract (intangibles, oil, personal property, real estate, state-assessed values, specials and truck personal property). Staff said the state provided approval to print notices.
The treasurer’s office reported collections activity and stated a portion of the abstract remains uncollected. Staff explained delinquencies are pursued through payment plans, tax foreclosures or district-court warrants, and that some very old balances may be written off because property owners are deceased or no longer at the address.
Staff also noted that 2025 is the county's last year for intangible taxation as currently structured, and answered questions about whether small intangible balances (under $5) are billed; staff confirmed those thresholds are not excluded from the abstract used for balancing.
No formal policy action was taken; staff invited commissioners to request the full abstract if they wanted a fund-by-fund breakdown.
