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.
Members of the Bowie Independent School District Board of Trustees will meet at 5:30 p.m. on June 16.
The big item on the agenda is the review of superintendent candidate applications and consider possible interview choice. Superintendent Blake Enlow resigned on May 23 and Assistant Superintendent Lee Ann Farris has been serving as the interim.
That item will be in executive session along with professional educator contracts that need to be considered.
