Williams Co. tax bills have gone out

Williams County’s audi­tor says real estate tax bills should arrive in the mail any day now.

Deb Nester says prop­erty own­ers can use a pair of tax sav­ing pro­grams through her office.

Peo­ple 65 and older can par­tic­i­pate in the Home­stead Exemp­tion Pro­gram. This pro­gram also wel­comes per­ma­nently dis­abled peo­ple, as well as vet­er­ans fully dis­abled because of some­thing con­nected to the ser­vice who own and live in their own homes.

Mean­while, all home­own­ers can take advan­tage of a 2.5 per­cent Home­site credit, given they live in their homes.

You can down­load the appli­ca­tion forms from the county auditor’s website.
