however the remaining balances were not deleted. As a result, the assessments remained in the
Washington County file for the 2015 assessment roll in error. To resolve this, the 2015 tax assessments need to be abated which will result in a revised tax statement being sent to each of the property owners. In addition, a deletion form will be filed with the County to ensure the assessments are permanently removed from the future tax roll files.
RECOMMENDATION: Based on the fact that all of these assessments have been paid in full, it is recommended that the City Council approve Resolution 2015-26 so that an abatement of the assessment can be filed with Washington County.
