During a recess to the Board of Equalization on March 3, Comptroller Scott Park presented the property tax register covering a two-week period and asked the board to approve the register.
Park said the register includes 37 appeals, 22 corrections and 12,357 abatements — an item total he emphasized is not a typo — and explained the large number of abatements reflects processing of veteran reliefs, disabled veterans, surviving spouses and the related vehicle abatements. He reported the total value of the register as $16,400,000.
Commissioners moved, seconded and approved the property tax register by voice vote before reconvening the regular commission meeting.
