Checks are in the mail (02/20/08)
By By JACK RONALD-
The check is in the mail.
Jay County Treasurer Robin Alberson said Tuesday 5,562 checks totaling about $48,000 have been mailed to county homeowners as part of a complex property tax rebate program created by the Indiana General Assembly in 2007.
"Anyone who had a homestead exemption last year" should receive a check, except for those who were delinquent on their property taxes, Alberson said.
Her office went through every rebate to make sure that checks will not go to property owners who haven't paid their taxes. Notices were mailed to 539 homeowners that they were not eligible for the rebate because of their unpaid taxes.
The amount of the check varies wildly, depending upon the assessed value of the property.
Alberson said she knows of checks as high as $500 and as low as 8 cents.
"They're just all over," she said.
Alberson informed Jay County Commissioners about the mailing of the rebate checks Tuesday.
In other business, the commissioners approved a claim for $80,987 for a dump truck chassis for the county highway department.
The truck, which is being purchased from Selking International Trucks, Muncie, will be delivered this week.
The commissioners also heard a presentation by PMS Inc., Noblesville, a consulting firm that works with government during construction projects such as the proposed expansion of the Jay County Jail. Lester Shepler Jr. of PMS Inc. and Stu Rhodes of Open Door Consulting made the presentation.[[In-content Ad]]Anita Mills is retiring as county assessor effective March 31.
Mills, who has been battling the Indiana Department of Local Government Finance over a forced reassessment of commercial and industrial properties, said her retirement plans were in the works long before reassessment surfaced.
"This was planned long before that," she said Tuesday afternoon. "I'm not running from the job."
Mills hopes that the retrending of property values required by the state should be completed before she leaves office. "That's the way it looks right now," she said.
She informed county Republican Party chairman Milo Miller Jr. of her decision by mail Tuesday. Her successor will be chosen by party caucus.
Mills' replacement will be eligible to serve out her current term in office, which is scheduled to end Dec. 31, 2010.
