Mr. Kobb stated, What this is, is a waiver of non - compliance. <br />When a petitioner is granted a tax abatement, they have until May 15th of that year to file forms <br />with the Auditor's Office. If those forms are not filed, then the Auditor's Office can't match the <br />abatement for their tax bill. So, the petitioner has the ability to come back to Council and seek a <br />waiver of non - compliance to waive that filing deadline, get that paperwork filed, and then the <br />Auditor's Office will go back and apply it to the previous tax year. It saves them from losing a <br />year on their abatement. <br />Councilmember Dr. David Varner asked, So, it's only good for one (1) year? <br />455 County-City Building • 227 W.
