Since receiving your refund request we have tried to find a way to legally <br /> honor your request. We keep ending up at the same conclusion that this situation falls <br /> under a category that statutorily is not refundable. Instead,the proper step is to make the <br /> correction for the current tax year and future years. In accord with these conclusions,I am <br /> enclosing a copy of your 2010 property record card to assist you in determining that you are <br /> properly taxed now. Please review the property record card and let me know if there are <br /> any further changes or questions. If it would be helpful,I will be glad to have an appraiser <br /> meet with you at your home to go over everything and make certain everything is correct. <br /> We always endeavor to find a way to make refunds. Sometimes we are not successful. <br /> Refunds have to be approved by the Board of County Commissioners. If the <br /> commissioners were to make a refund not authorized by the statutes those commissioners <br /> individually become personally liable for those improperly refunded funds. Due to this <br /> liability we are always careful and diligent in determining the legality of each refund <br /> request. <br />
