Land Tax Compromise Plans Tax Relief for Forfeited Lands
In Little Rock a joint committee agreed on a tax relief plan allowing landowners who lost land to tax forfeiture to redeem by paying 50 percent of delinquent taxes. Delinquent penalties would be removed and the bill would cut the tax bill in half. Payments could be split into two semiannual installments due before December 31 and July 1, 1994. The relief would apply to accrued taxes and not those due this year, with stronger relief for lands forfeited over three years. Senator Levine and Senator Johnson were named to draft the measure and report by Wednesday.
