Larry Hess, the Berkeley County assessor, briefed the commission on two taxpayer errors and a batch of personal property exonerations.

Hess said one return incorrectly reported a leased vehicle and another listed property in both Berkeley and Jefferson counties; together those two corrections total $895. He also presented 19 additional personal property exonerations that he said totaled $3,756.66.

Commissioners moved and approved the exonerations. During discussion, Hess and commissioners noted that taxpayers who paid in error may receive credit through their state returns if the taxes were paid on time; Hess said that process returns credit “dollar for dollar.”

No further action was recorded beyond the commission’s vote to approve the exonerations.
