To Delinquent Taxpayers For Any or All of the Years 1927-28-29-30-31-32 NOW IS THE TIME TO MAKE TAX LIEN NOTES ii The Board of County Commissioners has authorized me, under an Act of the 1935 General As sembly, to make out tkx lien notes for delinquent taxpayers for the years listed above. The Board is anxious that this task be completed as soon .as possible and I, therefore, urge and request that all delinquent taxpayers for these years take advantage of this opportunity at their earliest convenience. The tax lien notes! offer an opportunity to land owners to liquidate their unpaid taxes over a period of not exceeding six years; or if they desire to settle delinquencies for the years 1927 through 1932 by cash iayments, they now can obtain a 10 per cent discount. By making out tai : lien notes those who are unable to pay delinquencies now can save their property from foreclosure and greatly reduce interest payments. Tax sales certificates bear interest from date of sale at th rate of 8 per cent per annum, while tax lien notes bear 6 per cent interest per annum from April 1, 1935. By Taking Advantage of This Plan Delinquent Taxpayers Can Save Unnecessary Expense Or Possible Loss of Their Property C. TOM BRYSON Clerk to the Macon County Board of Commissioners
