"?i m >iitnif v.c. i? srv janou* THURSDAY, N*>\ EMBER B*?l 1*1 Back lax payments A hendflttme in Last week's edition of TV .Vtwr-ZownM? reads: "Faninng To Pay Taxes Cos?fy.~ Huts as it skwld be. The Hoke Cocan cvaunissHaen have .approved a new system wharfc provides a soaring penalty <rf S300 in tepail fees against piopem owners *hv> IfcaiL after receiving a 30-day OKdice. to pay then- back taxes. Unpaid cases assessed for a current wear -won't become dehroquKni. however, ufllB January of Tbe following year. The new policy was designed prinaiarfily. apparently, with the gaofeaty owners in nnnd who have fiaded ?o pay taxes for several years- Notices sent oat perodicaBIy have been met wirta prceqjys to pay . premises which haven't bees kept, or wath sweatee. As commy tax people have pom ted on?. the onanty letting unpaid lanes go isn't fair to the property owners who ootscietaonsiy pay. even when it is a hardship, as in: the case of people whose only anceme is a monthly Social Security check Tbe statute of limitations. also, frees people fr?Mn tine obligation of paying if they have doc paid tn 19 years. LiKail governments are tnctoned to write o<flf unpaid taxes as being owe worth the expense of cottectmg. The mew Hoke County policy. hwevg. has tbe delinquent property owner paying tbe cost of cwJBecring. The 5300 Vegal fee fankinwe. can be oak tbe beginning for due unpaid tax. If the taxes are still unpsaad before tbe title search aaad compiamt are completed, the cost to tine ^ieimqueriT will be increased to S35C to S400. and in many cases substantially more, the Tax Department announcement says. Failure to pay these costs and tbe back taxes will mean the property wil be taken from the owner and soid ai public anctioc to pay rise biffl. Money to allow the county to provide (government services to the peopie has never been abundant, and now with federal and state assistance cut down and. tn some cases, eSunmaaed. writing off several years of unpaid taxes is a luxury the county can't afford. Furthermore, even if the county could aflford to* provide write-offs, the system wouldn't be fair to the conseieminwws.. Making failure to pay taxes expensrve as tbe effective way of serrnng back taxes paid, though it's anfocEanate that this policy is necessary --BL Just Do It, Don't Gripe About It RrpcNscin leaders have been apse? by Beamier!
