Mills County board approves abatement for Gillespie penalties, taxes
Summary
The Mills County Board of Supervisors approved Resolution 25-42 to abate penalties and taxes for a property reclassified for 2023-24 assessments, reducing the immediate bill by roughly $2,011 and directing the auditor to issue corrected bills going forward.
The Mills County Board of Supervisors voted to approve Resolution 25-42, granting a tax-abatement request related to a 2023-24 assessment reclassification for a property owned by April Gillespie.
Speaker 8, presenting the item, described the request as "a request to abate the first half and second half taxes totaling $2,011," and noted the auditor would issue corrected bills going forward. Speaker 1 moved to approve Resolution 25-42 and the motion was seconded; a roll call recorded "Aye" responses from Sayers, Couch and Mayberry and the motion carried.
County staff said the reclassification corrected an assessment that had been listed incorrectly (residential vs. other) and that the revised valuation should prevent the same error from recurring; the board directed the county auditor to send new tax bills reflecting the corrected valuation. The board did not record further public comment on the item.
The immediate effect is an abatement of the penalties and tax amounts described in the resolution; the auditor will issue corrected bills and the county will reflect the valuation change in future tax notices.
