Key Takeaways

  • •If a county's border changes, the county leaders must tell the state and local tax offices by December 1.
  • •They have to send a map and a written description of the new border.
  • •If they don't send this info on time, the border change won't affect taxes for the next year.

Example

Imagine two counties, County A and County B, change their border so that a small town moves from County A to County B.

The leaders of both counties must send a map and a description of the new border to the state and local tax offices by December 1. If they don't, the town will still pay taxes to County A for the next year, even though it's now part of County B.
