Staff corrects figures for resolution to cancel older delinquent tax bills; revised total $47,009.97
Summary
County staff (Paige Smith) reported clerical issues discovered after approving a resolution to cancel delinquent tax bills more than five years old and said corrected cancellations total $47,009.97 — a $150.47 change from the prior figure; staff cited parcels with assignment, paid back taxes, formula omissions, and one inactivated parcel paid the same day as attempted cancellation.
Paige Smith told the commission she reviewed Resolution 26-30 — which amends a prior resolution that cancels delinquent tax bills more than five years old — and discovered several issues that changed the cancellation total.
"There was 1 parcel that is now on assignment, so I cannot cancel that tax bill. There was 1 parcel that the totals that were included on the formulas didn't get added in for the grama total at the bottom. There was another 1 that the property was sold and the back taxes were paid. And, finally, there was another 1 that even though the parcel was inactivated in 2020 after the mobile home burned down, The owner, the same day I was trying to cancel that bill, paid it," Paige Smith said. She reported, "So, that changes the total amount of cancellations for $47,009.97, which is a difference of $150.47 overall." (numbers transcribed from the meeting record).
Commissioners discussed the timing and staff said they would correct the agenda language and finalize the resolution paperwork. The transcript shows the corrected dollar amount and staff explanation; no public controversy or public comment appears in the provided excerpt.
