6/10/26 Board of County Commissioners: Requests for Cancellation of Taxes

The Kootenai County Board of Commissioners held a meeting on June 10, 2026, to address a request for cancellation and adjustment of property tax penalties and interest related to AIN 302-637. The taxpayer, Mr. Dudum, explained he did not receive the tax bill due to an incorrect address caused by a blurry quick claim deed document, which led to a penalty of approximately $757. The board discussed the responsibility of the county and the taxpayer regarding address accuracy and tax payment. After deliberation, the board voted to approve a 25% reduction in penalties and interest, contingent on payment of the balance by June 19, 2026, and updating the mailing address to prevent future issues. The motion passed unanimously, and the county will follow up with the taxpayer to finalize payment details.
