Schuyler County is correcting a property tax error affecting some agricultural and veteran exemptions, resulting in miscalculated bills for certain residents.
Veteran exemption errors average around $60, while agricultural exemption discrepancies vary based on factors like land use and soil type. Affected residents will receive a letter explaining the issue and available assistance options.
Next year’s bills will include automatic credits, but residents can request immediate adjustments by contacting the Real Property Tax Services Office at 607-535-8118. Walk-in sessions will also be held to assist veterans with the correction process.
