Commissioners discuss possible property-tax increase and truth-in-taxation timing
Summary
Commissioners discussed a potential judgment that might require starting the truth-in-taxation process and agreed to hold a work meeting to gather information; one commissioner said he did not fully understand the issue and supported due diligence.
During consideration of item 7, the chair raised the possibility that a potential judgment could require a property-tax increase and asked about the deadline to begin the truth-in-taxation process. "If I remember right, we had until sometime in June to start the truth in taxation process. Is that correct, Carrie?" the chair asked.
A commissioner responded candidly that he did not fully understand the matter but supported doing the county's due diligence before taking further steps. "I don't understand it totally, to be truthful... I think I would be in favor ... doing our due diligence and ... determining what we need to do and going forward," the commissioner said. The chair directed staff to set a work meeting to collect information to inform a future decision.
The exchange left procedural next steps: staff will schedule the work meeting so commissioners can review facts and legal guidance before deciding whether to start a truth-in-taxation process or take other action.
