Hall County to seek opinion on Mid-State tax refunds
The Hall County Board of Supervisors voted to request County Attorney Sam Crimminger’s view on whether taxes levied by the defunct Mid-State Reclamation District can be refunded. The district was voted down in the Nov 4 election. Crick called the 0.93 mill levy void. The district had billed $192,000 in Hall County. Buffalo County allows collection until February. Mid-State General Manager Shriner said taxes will be collected through Dec 31, with January and February receipts to be redistributed.
