County will fix a billing error that let about 84 properties skip a small conservancy tax since 2010
Who it touches: If you own property in one of Vigo County's six conservancy districts, this affects a small line item on your tax bill — and the auditor said no one will be charged back taxes for the years the charge was missed; the office is just correcting it going forward.
The county auditor's office told the commissioners it is correcting a billing error affecting about 84 properties in Vigo County's conservancy districts, after a software change sometime between 2010 and 2011 apparently caused the conservancy portion of their tax bill to stop being charged.
The auditor said this is separate from regular property tax, which those owners have been paying in full.
