Benton and Franklin taxes still due April 30 despite shutdown
Property taxes are due Thursday.
And while the treasurers in Benton and Franklin counties cannot grant complete waivers for the bills, they are offering payment plans for residents and business owners struggling during the COVID-19 pandemic.
“We’re understanding what’s going on and we’re trying to help people in these tough times,” said Josie Koelzer, who has three payment options available in Franklin County.
Koelzer told the Tri-City Herald that so far eight people have signed up with her office. Six of those are for business properties, and the other two are for homes.
In Benton County, Ken Spencer said he’s heard from a number of homeowners and owners of small businesses and hotels wanting to take advantage of their one payment assistance plan. He couldn’t give an exact number of participants so far.
