Tax Penalty Will
Begin On Thursday
Thursday is the last day taxpayers
can pay 1988 property taxes and
avoid a 2 percent penalty which ap-
plies Friday.
Cleveland County property own-
ers formed long lines outside the
Cleveland County Tax Office this
week to take the tax break, accord-
ing to Tax Collector Mary Alice
Laughlin.
Property taxes paid after Dec. 31
cannot be written off until returns
are filed for 1989, she said.
Taxpayers can mail in their pay-
ments, but the tax office does not
mail back a receipt unless the tax-
payer includes a self-addressed
stamped envelope. Otherwise, Mrs.
Laughlin said the cancelled check
serves as a receipt.
Delinquent taxpayers will receive
second notices in late January to be
followed by legal action initiated by
the county to collect unpaid taxes,
said Mrs. Laughlin.
