Commission tables Auto-Tek solid-waste fee exemption until county review
Summary
A request from Auto-Tek LLC for a solid-waste fee exemption on Sheridan was presented by the county clerk and tabled for one week so the county appraiser can consult with peer counties on similar exemptions.
County Clerk Tammi Cox presented a request for a solid-waste fee exemption filed by Auto-Tek LLC for a property on Sheridan. Commissioners discussed the need to know how neighboring counties handle comparable exemptions before approving a local exemption. Commissioner Scott Mortimer noted the county appraiser had intended to consult other counties but had not yet done so.
Truette McQueen, the county appraiser, advised the board that taxpayers may have options for property-tax relief after a fire, including filing for disaster relief, but McQueen had not completed outreach to other counties about exemption practice. The commission reached consensus to table the exemption request until the next meeting to allow for that review and additional information.
No vote was recorded to approve the exemption; the item was deferred for further fact-finding.
