Show Tax Deadline Is November 30 By action of the State Legislature, the $1 redemption fees are no longer in effect. Deadline for payment of property taxes in Garfield County is Nov. 30, after which a charge of $10 will be assessed to each tax notice. All delinquent taxes of less than $500 will be assessed the $10 minimum. Because there are many greenbelt and subdivision areas in the county where taxes are less than $5, the $10 penalty could come to more than the taxes themselves. Taxes not paid by Jan. 15, 1982 also will be charged interest, not just on the tax itself but on the penalty also. In the past, the penalty charged has been computed at two percent of the tax due, with no minimum. On taxes of $5, the property taxpayer would traditionally pay 10 or 12 cents. Under the new penalty, the taxpayers would pay the $10 minimum. |
