Tanner Bessinger told the commission he and his family have paid about $1,900 toward a delinquent property tax balance and proposed paying $1,000 per month going forward. Bessinger said the original delinquency was a little over $11,000; under the new schedule, he estimated the balance would be cleared in a little over a year.
Treasurer Sean Thornley confirmed the county's current balance at $10,006.68 and explained the county applies payments first to penalties and interest. Commissioners directed the county attorney's office to draft a formal payment agreement requiring $1,000 monthly payments (starting in April), with the provision that the commission must be brought back in the event of default. The commission approved the payment-plan motion by voice vote.
