He also owns another property for which he received a <br />bill and paid the debt promptly. He had supplied his forwarding address but was advised by <br />Eve in the Tax Collector's Office that the forwarding address was never applied to this <br />particular property. <br />Tax Collector Karl Zimmermann advised that Mr. and Mrs. Coker were correct that <br />their assessment bills were mailed to 236 24' Avenue. However, another property also had <br />an assessment notices mailed to the same 236 24' Avenue and payments were received on <br />that property. Mr. Zimmermann stated that the forwarding address was entered on a different <br />computer system than the one which contained the information regarding this particular <br />property. <br />Chairman Eggert emphasized that a change of address should be reflected on every <br />computer in the County. <br />Tax Collector Zimmermann noted that it would appear Mr. and Mrs. Coker made <br />payments on one project and that they were aware the road had been paved. There has to be <br />some presumption of responsibility. He also pointed out that forgiveness of the debt sends <br />a message that there are ways to obviate a taxpayer's responsibilities. <br />OCTOBER 21, 1997 <br />59 <br />
