County tax collection down
Press release from Butler County Treasurer Nancy Nix:
Butler County Treasurer Nancy Nix, CPA, has certified the first half 2009 real estate tax collection to the Butler County Auditor. The total amount certified is $212,460,761.28. This represents $390,355.43 less than the same period last year.
Treasurer Nix comments, “the reduced amount represents many factors including an increase in unpaid prior delinquency and unpaid first half 2009 taxes, as well as the general decline in property values”.
“Our office understands all too well what our citizens are going through during these harsh economic times; yet, it is my statutory responsibility to collect taxes. We do have programs that can help; and I urge Butler County taxpayers to contact our office for information on our past due payment plan and our escrow payment plan. These plans are designed to assist property owners to help ease the burden of their tax obligation. Our program managers work carefully with individuals to negotiate helpful payment plans. Please do not hesitate to call 513-887-3181 or visit our web site www.butlercountytreasurer.org.”

maybe you could increase the revenue in this county if you would have some of these owners keep up with the condition of some of these properties, they are deplorable and an eyesore to people that who like to have a nice home. middletown has let the properties decline.

Did the county ever hire a new Personnel Director? If not who’s handling that responsibility. I can guess that all hires are now really based on Good Old Boy Politics.
