IN THE NAME AND BY THE AUTHORITY OF THE CITY OF MONTICELLO, IOWA
RESOLUTION #17-78
Resolution to request Abatement of accrued Property Taxes on property owned by the City of Monticello for public purposes within the City limits of the City of Monticello.
WHEREAS, The City of Monticello recently purchased the fire damaged property located at 224 N. Chestnut Street, same being described by the following Tax Parcel ID: 0221481002, and
WHEREAS, The Purchase Agreement with the property owner relieved him of responsibility for all accrued taxes but for those previously sold at tax sale and the City did not, therefore, collect sums from the property owner to pay previously accrued property taxes, and
WHEREAS, The Council finds it appropriate, under the circumstances, to request the abatement of all accrued and accruing taxes related to said parcel, whether past due or accrued and not yet due, and to so inform the County Treasurer so that the County Board of Supervisors can take action to formally abate said taxes as required by §445.63 of the Iowa Code.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of Monticello, Iowa does hereby direct the City Clerk to inform the County Treasurer of the decision of the City Council to request the abatement of the taxes accrued and accruing on the above described tax parcel consistent with §445.63 of the Iowa Code.
IN TESTIMONY WHEREOF, I have hereunto subscribed my name and caused the Great Seal of the City of Monticello, Iowa to be affixed hereto. Done this 3rd day of July, 2017.
