Board approves DHS‑approved postponement of property taxes for specified parcels

The board approved requests to postpone property taxes on parcels that have Department of Human Services (DHS) approval for transfer. Chair read parcel identifiers into the record and said the postponements are conditional upon transfer of the real estate; they are postponements, not tax waivers.

A county official summarized the motion: "the property taxes are not being waived. They're being postponed upon transfer of the real estate." The motions were moved and seconded and approved. County staff indicated the entity that assumes ownership will be responsible for payment when transfer occurs and that DHS had approved the postponement requests prior to the board meeting.
