County executive outlines pay-ahead tax program, delinquent-sale notice plan and upcoming town hall on McCune property
Summary
The county executive reported a new 'pay ahead' tax program beginning July 1 to let taxpayers make installment payments, described the upcoming delinquent tax sale and a vendor contract for posting notices, and urged residents to attend a June 2 town hall on the former McCune property.
During the communications and reports portion of the June 1 meeting, the county executive highlighted several administrative items of direct interest to taxpayers. He announced a new pay-ahead tax program effective July 1 that will let property owners make periodic payments toward their annual tax bill and thereby reduce the large December lump sum burden.
The executive also described an upcoming delinquent land tax sale with roughly 1,600 parcels currently on the list for August and noted staff is recalculating reassessments from 2023–2024 and will provide tax credits where appropriate. To meet county-code posting requirements for the August sale, the executive said the county plans to contract third-party posting services to place notices on properties. Legislators discussed limiting contract length but ultimately amended language clarifying notices would apply only to parcels delinquent in 2022 or earlier for this action.
Finally, the executive invited legislators and residents to a town hall on June 2 about the future of the former McCune property and reiterated that ARPA allocation conversations and tax-credit protections remain under review.
