From the News-Dispatch:
On Wednesday morning, the La Porte County Commissioners discussed catching up on taxes and collections.
The 2013 tax bills still have an extension until Aug. 26.
La Porte County Treasurer Nancy Hawkins received the OK from the Department of Local Government Finance to hold off on sending out a provisional tax bill this year.
She said the next tax bill sent will be a normal bill, mailed out no later than April 25. The spring due date for the 2014 taxes will be due May 12 and the fall due date will be Nov. 10, with no extensions.
The commissioners also approved SRI Inc. to begin implementing a tax sale and working on ineligible homestead deductions to acquire more money for the county. Hawkins will be in Indianapolis on Monday to work out a timeline with SRI for a tax sale.
Hawkins said the tax sale will be for 2006-08. For collecting delinquent personal property, Hawkins said demand notices will be mailed from the year 2006-12.
If the delinquent property is not dealt with, the county will get the court involved with a collection company.
SRI Chairman James Hughes said he is looking forward to working with La Porte County again and said the tax sale will hopefully be accomplished this fall.
