Wilkins said the tax office works with outside counsel for foreclosure proceedings when necessary and commended staff across related offices for their cooperation. The board signed the formal Order for Collection for Fiscal Year 2022' 2023, authorizing the tax collector to collect taxes and, if needed, levy on property in accordance with law; the order was signed by Chair Tracy A.

Commissioner Bill Sexton asked why refunds occur; Wilkins explained they result from overpayments or mortgage companies submitting duplicate payments.
