Commission forgives $1,421.81 in penalties and interest for delinquent property tax
Summary
The commission voted unanimously to forgive $1,421.81 in penalties and interest for parcel #05‑152‑0064 after owner Jordan Oyler said he believed taxes were being paid through escrow and did not receive timely notice of delinquency.
Property owner Jordan Oyler asked the commission to forgive penalties and interest totaling $1,421.81 after discovering taxes on parcel #05‑152‑0064 had gone unpaid for multiple years. Oyler told the board he "thought the taxes were being paid through his escrow and was unaware that the taxes were not being paid," and said notices were mailed to the building‑lot address on the deed rather than to his home, with a notice to his parents' house being the only alert he received.
Treasurer Shaun Thornley explained that the address printed on the deed is used for mailed notices. Commissioner Boyd Bingham moved to forgive the penalties and interest; the motion, seconded by Commissioner Lee Perry, carried unanimously on roll call. The motion forgave the $1,421.81 in penalties and interest but the minutes do not record forgiveness of underlying tax principal.
