Board orders repayment of tax penalties to Cherokee County Sportsman after exemption error
Summary
County Treasurer Heather Sapp told commissioners a property was mistakenly changed from exempt to non-exempt; while taxes paid under protest were refunded earlier, penalties and interest remained. The board approved repaying the penalties unanimously.
County Treasurer Heather Sapp brought a request to the board asking that the county repay penalties and interest assessed to Cherokee County Sportsman after a parcel was mistakenly switched from exempt to non-exempt on the tax roll. Sapp said the taxes had already been refunded after being paid under protest, but penalties and interest had not been returned.
Commissioner Lorie Johnson moved to approve repayment of the penalties; Commissioner Myra Frazier seconded and the motion passed unanimously. The minutes state the board approved repayment; they do not specify the penalty amount in the record.
