Tax collection contract OK’d by Carthage council

The Carthage City Council on Tuesday night approved a new contract under which city tax collections are handled by the office of the county collector. Carthage is among about 10 cities that contract with the county, said Lynn Campbell, city clerk. Charges for towns are listed on the county tax statement, along with school, fire and road district taxes. The arrangement allows a taxpayer to make a single payment, then taxes are paid to the individual taxing entitles by the county.
