Wabash County treasurer Angela Broster’s office has been busy prepping and mailing out tax bills and now collecting from local taxpayers. At Monday’s Wabash County Board meeting, Broster said her office mailed over 11,000 real estate tax bills last week. Due dates are March 7th and April 7th for the first and second installments respectively. She said just under $3.8 million or 30% had been collected by her office during last year’s prepayment window and the first four days since the bills were mailed. It’s hoped that money can be distributed to local taxing bodies by the end of the week. County board chairman Rob Dean acknowledged Broster and her office for their work in getting the delayed real estate tax bills out….
Broster also reported that 90% of mobile home taxes have been collected with 25 still outstanding. There is currently a $100 penalty for late mobile home taxes.
