Supreme Court rules no extra pay for county tax collection
The court held that when a town hands its tax duplicate to the county auditor and the county treasurer collects town taxes, the treasurer cannot seek additional compensation from the town. A prior Orange County treasurer’s judgment against Taoli towns was reversed. The salary covers all services, except for delinquent tax collection, and unless law allows increases, the town need not pay extra.
