Commissioners’ Statement on the Tax Court Ruling
Allen County, Indiana (September 17, 2024) – Statement from the Allen County Board of Commissioners following the tax court ruling issued September 13, 2024:
“We were pleased to read the Indiana Tax Court opinion issued late Friday afternoon affirming Allen County’s financing method for the new county jail. While we respect the rights of our residents to use the court system to appeal, Allen County’s financing method has now been validated by the Indiana Department of Local Government Finance and the Indiana Tax Court. We are fully prepared to move forward with the project. Our finance and construction team have worked diligently during the appeal process to get Allen County in the best possible position to mitigate timeline and cost increases due to the delayed start. We will have more specific details on next steps in the coming week.”
