In a recent government meeting, a resident raised concerns regarding a property tax dispute that has left her facing potential eviction from her home. The individual, who resides at 433 Outlaw, explained that her sister, who lives in Georgia, inadvertently paid property taxes twice on a different property, leading to confusion over ownership and tax obligations.

The resident stated that she had not received any official notifications regarding the tax situation, despite the property being sold to an investment company. She expressed her distress over being told to vacate her home, asserting that she has been living at the address for years and has all necessary paperwork in order.

During the meeting, Supervisor Howard confirmed that the investment company had not requested a tax deed, which means they have no legal right to demand the resident vacate her property. Furthermore, it was noted that an erroneous tax sale would be presented to the board for approval, which could resolve the issue and allow the resident to retain her home.

The discussion highlighted broader concerns about property tax management and communication within the county, with officials acknowledging the need for improved processes to prevent similar situations in the future. The board is expected to take action on the erroneous tax sale, which could provide relief to the resident and clarify ownership rights moving forward.
