Tax Delinquencies Threaten Olathe Budget Crisis
Olathe faces a looming tax crisis as delinquent special assessments total 390000 for 1990 and 280000 in 1991 taxes with a due date June 20. If unaddressed, delinquencies could reach 560000, risking bonds and future development costs tied to benefit districts. The Southpark project and Olathe Santa Fe partnership are central, with lawsuits claiming improvements are not complete. State law delays enforcement, prompting council pressure for action before a three year clock.
