Ikemire: Late Property Taxes Not City's Fault

If you’re frustrated you haven’t received your Wabash County real estate tax bill yet, you’re not alone. At Monday’s Mt. Carmel City Council meeting, finance commissioner Eric Ikemire wants you to know the delay in mailing out tax statements isn’t the city’s fault…

Ikemire said he empathizes with anxious taxpayers…

Ikemire’s comments came after he said he had several people question him asking why the property tax bills hadn’t been mailed yet this year.

For the county’s part, County clerk Janet Will said the tax statements are expected to be printed this week. A conversion to a new software program is the culprit for the lateness of the tax statements.
