Commission asks staff to research resolution to prioritize oldest delinquent taxes
Summary
Commissioners asked staff to research whether a resolution or statute would allow the county to apply payments to the oldest delinquent taxes first and to prepare draft language if feasible.
A commissioner raised a proposal discussed at a prior work session to adopt a resolution that would make the oldest delinquent taxes payable first. Commissioners asked staff to check applicable statutes and to prepare a draft resolution for future consideration.
Austin (called into the meeting) agreed to review the legal authority and to coordinate with the county's third-party delinquent-tax provider and local contacts. He said he would call relevant contacts and work with county staff and outside advisors to return with a recommended approach at an upcoming meeting.
The commissioners did not take formal action on a resolution at this meeting; they directed staff to research statutory authority and, if appropriate, prepare a resolution for board consideration.
