House perfects bill giving township counties option to accept installment tax payments
Summary
House Bill 1906 was perfected and printed to allow township‑form counties by ordinance to permit annual, semiannual or quarterly payment of real and personal property taxes; supporters said the change would provide needed taxpayer relief in about 20 counties.
Representative from Carroll (speaker 22) moved House Bill 1906, which would allow township‑form counties the option, by local ordinance, to permit property tax payments on annual, semiannual or quarterly schedules. The sponsor described the measure as three simple words that extend to township counties the same flexibility other counties have for collecting taxes.
Several members from township counties spoke in support, saying the change would provide practical relief for taxpayers in their districts. The bill sponsor said the measure has been filed multiple terms and that the body should grant township counties this flexibility. The House perfected and printed the bill.
No fiscal notes were read into the record in floor remarks; members said local collectors support the change.
