Taxes Paid In Week Bring $6000 In Athens County
Athens County residents paid $6000 in property taxes this past week, reported county treasurer G D Gorham. Many taxpayers are paying for the full year or clearing back penalties, as the ten mill limitation reduces bills and prompts larger payments. Personal tax payments rise ahead of the March 1 deadline, with penalties set after that date. Real estate books stay open through April.
