Board grants late-tax appeals and exemption for veterans
Summary
The county approved a late-listing appeal (10% late fee) and a late application for the old-age/disability exemption for a veteran with 100% disability; both motions passed by voice vote.
The Northampton County Board of Commissioners reconsidered tax matters deferred from a previous meeting and approved two appeals.
The board granted a late-listing appeal that sought waiver of a 10% late fee (moved, seconded and approved by voice vote). The board also approved a late application for the old-age/disability exclusion; the applicant was identified in discussion as a veteran with a 100% disability and the board moved, seconded and approved the exemption.
Why it matters: The votes relieved two individual taxpayers of penalties or secured an exemption and were handled in open session in accordance with state statute. Members discussed statutory constraints that require such appeals to come before the board in open session.
