In what has to be one of the more bizarre tales I’ve seen in a while, a large taxpayer in Portsmouth wants to pay its personal property tax bill but the city hasn’t sent a bill.
Marina Mandella would like nothing more than to pay the personal property tax that APM Terminals owes the city this year.
[…]
Meanwhile, Portsmouth officials have been arguing over when APM should receive a personal property tax bill. To date, the city has not sent the company one.
I read this story three times. I still don’t know why no bill has been sent. Regardless of the reason, though, I would think that Portsmouth would want to get a bill out so they can get paid. $2.8 million ain’t chump change.
UPDATE: The bill is going out Friday.
