Property owners could be receiving their Washington County tax bills a bit earlier this year. Washington County Trustee Rick Storey will be asking the County Commission to approve a resolution allowing him to start the annual property tax collection process once all of the property tax levying entities within his jurisdiction have set their individual property tax rates. Storey told the county’s Budget Committee last week that he hopes to have county property tax notices in the mail by early September. He said taxpayers will still have until Feb. 29 to pay their tax bills without penalty.
