2019 property tax statements go into the mail
It’s tax time across Montague County as statements for 2019 payments went out this past week.
Property owners will have until Jan. 31 to pay their various taxes before any delinquent fees are added.
Montague County Tax Assessor Kathryn Phillips said there were some provider software problems, which delayed the mailing of the county tax statements, but they were mailed out on Oct. 21. She said the MCTAD had similar issues since they operate with the same software.
Phillips said anyone who does not receive their statement within the next couple of weeks should contact the tax office to request one.
The tax assessor collects for the county, but also collects for the Nocona city, school and hospital district, Forestburg school district plus Clearcreek and Farmer’s Creek Watersheds.
Kim Haralson, chief appraiser for the Montague County Tax Appraisal District, said statements connected with the 86,000 parcels the district collects for went out late last week.
The district collects taxes for Bowie city and school district, Gold-Burg, Montague, Prairie Valley school districts and Saint Jo city and school district. Read the full story in the mid-week Bowie News.
The jury was seated on Monday and the opening day of testimony Tuesday only lasted four hours, before the panel went into deliberations about 2 p.m.
Two hours later the jury returned a guilty verdict on both charges. Wednesday morning the jury was set to begin discussion on Hall’s punishment at 8:30 a.m. with both sides offering evidence and testimony. Hall faces up to 10 years in prison.
The trial was moved to Denton County on a change of venue requested by Hall in March. After 16th District Judge Sherry Shipman read the verdict, it was reported Hall hung her head in disappointment and was later seen crying and emotional as she left the courtroom.
Members of the Bowie City Council will meet in regular session at 6 p.m. on May 13 in council chambers.
The meeting opens with a proclamation for Emergency Medical Services Week.
City Manager Bert Cunningham will report on recent rainfall problems, Smythe Street sidewalk project and the substation work.
There is only one item of new business an ordinance related to speed limits on specific streets. Public comments and approval of minutes wrap up the agenda.
