Summary

Tax collector Amy Duggar told commissioners her office expects about $110,000 in unused fees to be returned to the county this year and included transition funding to overlap outgoing and incoming staff for continuity.

Amy Duggar, the county tax collector, presented her office's budget and projections. Duggar told the board the office expects about $110,000 in unused tax-collector fees to be returned to the county this year and included routine items such as a 4% salary increase at the board’s direction. She requested a short-term overlap hire to ensure a smooth transition when an employee goes on leave after childbirth.

Duggar also noted increases to postage and ongoing EDP (electronic data processing) needs as the office continues to handle higher transaction volumes after pandemic-era service shifts. "We have the projection on what the unused fees to be returned to the county will be ... about a 110,000 this year," Duggar said. Commissioners commended office improvements that reduced wait times and noted the office’s internal tracking of service volumes could be used to inform future planning.
