Lull in Tax Collection Dampens City Receipts
City Treasurer Mary Hubley notes October sees just over five percent of 434000 in estimated property tax uncollected, more than double last year’s rate though total receipts rose. Delinquencies rise with layoffs and a 10 week strike at Corry Jamestown, while annexation and a two mill tax hike boost assessed values. Many taxpayers may use Christmas Club checks to pay, potentially lowering delinquency soon.
