County CFO seeks temporary code change to allow refunds for 2021–22 withholding errors
Multnomah County's chief financial officer told the board he will propose a temporary change to county tax code section 11.542 to allow certain taxpayers who had employer withholding remitted to the county for tax years 2021 and 2022 to file for refunds by April 15, 2027; the change would mirror actions taken by Metro and the City of Portland and be paired with outreach.
