DESCRIPTION



This proposal would require county governments, except for township counties, to provide an option for installment payments of current and delinquent taxes. (Current law allows those counties to provide for installment payment of current real and personal property taxes.)



This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space. This proposal would not affect Total State Revenue.
