Sandy Nurse

Thank you, Majority Leader.

Sandy Nurse

Um, last year the council made dramatic reforms to property tax enforcement that will likely prevent many liens from being sold.

Sandy Nurse

But there are still people who are eligible for but do not benefit from property tax exemptions.

Sandy Nurse

Reso 327 draws attention to this problem by calling on the state to pass legislation allowing property owners who receive tax exemptions to have the exemption apply retroactively where eligible.

Sandy Nurse

Thank you, Majority Leader.
