County Officials Face Fee Split Over December Tax Drive
State fee commission and the bureau of accounting agreed to prorate fees on the December tax collection between county treasurers auditors and the county fee fund. Officials will receive about four months of fees, roughly two thirds, with the rest to the fee fund used for salaries. Some treasurers threaten actions after December 20 for delinquent taxes, but penalties may not be enforced as prior practice extends to January 20. The December deadline clashes with the open books until January 20.
