Washington County Supervisors are holding off on making a decision on whether to allow a tax suspension. County Treasurer Jeff Garrett says the request was made under a state law that allows suspension if a person is “unable to contribute to the public revenue.” Supervisors agreed to delay making a decision so they could further investigate the issue. Garrett says last year’s taxes for the petitioner are paid, and this would allow them to have a sort of forebearance on paying property taxes this October.
