Property Tax Delays
Due to trending, a statewide reassessment of real property, it is likely that there will be delays in property tax receipts in 2007. Delays in property tax receipts may lead to defaults in bond payments for those bonds and leases payable from property tax levies or tax increment revenues. The status of trending is different for each county and the extent of the property tax delays, if any, will vary statewide. We suggest contacting your county auditor's office regarding the status of trending and property tax distributions.
There are a few options available to taxing units to help with delays in property tax receipts including the issuance of tax anticipation warrants. We would welcome the opportunity to discuss tax anticipation warrants and other options with you in more detail if your taxing unit is faced with a cash flow problem due to potential delays in property taxes.
