The committee reducing property tax bills corresponding with when property was uninhabitable.

Mayor Cara Spencer and Board of Aldermen President Megan Green both issued statements supporting these bills. The board will convene on Wednesday and Friday to get the legislation to Spencer’s desk.

Aldermen need to pass the bill regarding property taxes by June 1 in order for it to help people who have tornado-related property damage.
