Plymouth Clerk-Treasurer Jeanine Xaver gave the Plymouth Board of Public Works and Safety members an update on tax distributions Monday night.
Xaver said the city fared better than what she expected. There was a difference of nearly $169,000 from June 2019 which is much less of a cut than what she envisioned for this tax draw. The city will receive $3,198,077.22 in June.
Most of the taxing units saw a decrease in funding in June when compared to 2019, but reportedly not as deep as anticipated.
However, Xaver cautioned the Plymouth Board of Public Works and Safety members, the Plymouth City Council members and department heads to move ahead cautiously as the future revenue situation remains unclear due to the effects of COVID-19.
Marshall County Auditor Julie Fox commented during the Marshall County Commissioners meeting last week that the taxpayers stepped up to make sure taxes were paid to help out the taxing units of the county. Non-escrow property tax payers have until July 10 to pay taxes without incurring any penalties, per the governor’s order.
