County Attorney - Resolution to Adjust Interest for 2017 Delinquent Taxes Paid by January 8, 2018

Issue/Action Requested:
Request that the Board of Commissioners approve the attached resolution which allows for the adjustment of interest for 2017 delinquent property taxes paid by January 8, 2018.
Background/Purpose of Request:

Each year, property taxes are due September 1st and delinquent after January 5th.  It is common for many citizens of Brunswick County to wait until or immediately before January 5th to pay their property taxes in person.

 

This year, County offices were closed due to inclement weather January 3rd, 4th, and 5th.  The next available date to pay their taxes was January 8th.  As a courtesy to those citizens, it is requested that the Board of Commissioners approve the attached resolution which allows for adjustment of interest for 2017 property taxes as if paid timely for those individuals who paid their taxes in person on January 8, 2018.
