He stated that there are clerical errors <br />and are pretty rare. Mr. Wachsmith explained that the 3 year limit <br />for collecting on manifest errors would be done by Resolution and <br />would help to relive what could be some considerably large liability <br />to the County if there was no 3 year cap. He reviewed what Counties <br />have done if they haven’t opted for the 3 year cap and they are <br />looking at each case on its own and as they come forward. Mr. <br />Hougardy explained that refunds are only issues to the person who <br />has been paying the tax and not the person who inherited the <br />property. <br /> <br />The Board directed Mr. Wachsmith to follow up with the Junior Taxing <br />Dist., to see where they stand on the issue and prepare a Resolution <br />for them to consider at the next Agenda Session. <br /> <br />Meeting adjourned at 1:15 p.m. <br /> <br />KITTITAS COUNTY COMMISSIONERS <br />DEPUTY CLERK OF THE BOARD KITTITAS COUNTY, WASHINGTON <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Mandy Buchholz Paul Jewell, Chairman <br />
