26-31 0  Executive OrdersWHEREAS, the County Executive finds that conducting a delinquent tax sale is necessary to protect the integrity of the tax collection process, promote fairness to taxpayers, and ensure that all tax bills accurately reflect amounts lawfully due before enforcement actions are taken; WHEREAS, the tax collection process includes multiple statutory steps, with the delinquent land tax sale representing one of the final actions available to collect unpaid taxes. Before reaching that stage, the County Executive believes it is essential that every eligible property owner receives the benefit of any corrected tax bill and currently there may still exist errors; WHEREAS, the current land sale consists of taxpayers delinquent in 2022, 2023, and 2024; WHEREAS, the County Executive is not one hundred percent (100%) confident of all the data regarding 2022 assessments and taxes owed; WHEREAS, if there is even a possibility that one property owner's tax bill could change because of corrected calculations, Jackson County owes it to them to make sure those corrections are reflected first.
