I guess the rumor going around it that the counties across the state are waiting for the state information on property values. Counties need this information so they can collect property taxes. But what makes this important is that this time of the year (especially for ag land owners) they need to know what their property tax bill is before they file Federal Income taxes.
Here is an explanation from the County (FF: 1:07:30)
I guess the only excuse the state has is that they are ‘Short Handed’.
Maybe they can send Kennedy Noem over to help out?
