From the Jeffersonville News & Tribune:
Redistricting work under way in the town of Sellersburg revealed several properties that have failed to pay the town’s taxes for more than two decades.
But it’s not because the homeowners weren’t paying taxes, it was that they were paying the taxes to Clark County.
Todd Booker, associate with Jacobi, Toombs and Lanz, Inc. who is working on the redistricting for the town said the error was discovered for three properties off of Ohio Avenue when he was completing the GIS mapping for the new districts.
Sellersburg Town Attorney Jake Elder said he was unsure how the error occurred but he is looking into the matter.
“It’s been ... 21 years,” he said. “I don’t know what happened there at the county.”
Since 1991 when the area was annexed into Sellersburg, the three properties in question were somehow overlooked and remained on the county’s property tax rolls instead of being transferred to Sellersburg.
When asked if there was a way for the town to recover payment for the property taxes improperly paid to the county Elder said, “if there is, hopefully the town and the county will come to an agreement.”
