Commission approves 50% low-income abatement for resident
Summary
Ralph Jordan received a 50% property-tax abatement after explaining he lives on Social Security and his household income slightly exceeds the program limit; the auditor confirmed the household is marginally over the threshold and commissioners approved the reduction.
Ralph Jordan appeared before the commission to request a low-income property-tax abatement, explaining he and his household live on Social Security and cannot afford the full levy.
County staff reported the household income placed them about $388 over the program limit, with taxes totaling $2,173.90; because the household could not use the state circuit breaker they requested a 50% reduction and commissioners voted to grant the 50% abatement. "I'm living off Social Security," Jordan said when describing his situation, and commissioners approved the request on a motion and second.
