This abatement will also apply only if the first half payment is made in full by <br />June 15. A completed application must be submitted to qualify for this abatement. This <br />application can be found by visiting anokacounty.us/1067/Property-Records-Taxation. <br />"The effect of COVID-19 on our local, state, and national economy has been devastating, <br />and the Anoka County Board of Commissioners realizes many homeowners and businesses are <br />struggling right now," said Scott Schulte, chair, Anoka County Board of Commissioners. "Giving <br />them more time to pay their first-half property taxes is within the purview of the board, and we <br />hope this resolution helps ease the fears of our residents and small business owners." <br />-30- <br />DK: by <br />Respectful, Innovative, Fiscally Responsible <br />Government Center A 2100 3rd Avenue, Suite 700 A Anoka, MN 55303-5024 A www.anokacounty.us <br />Office: 763-324-4700 A Fax: 763-324-5490 <br />Affirmative Action / Equal Opportunity Employer <br />
