DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND:

Marion County Fire Rescue works with the Municipal Services and Information Technology departments regarding parcel information that they gather for assessments. In 2023, there was an error in the data that was pulled and a parcel that belonged to On Top of the World (OTOW) was assessed, while the parcel was correctly filed as exempt. A tax bill was sent, and the tax certificate was auctioned. Bay Laurel paid the certificate but realized that the parcel was exempt and has requested a refund of the 2023 taxes. Therefore, a refund is needed to be issued to the property owner to pay back the assessments that were improperly collected.
