The City will receive its proportionate share of the past due property taxes less interest in the amount of $10,416.42. Additionally the City will receive the past due specials in the amount of $82,593.81. Technically the City will be waiving penalties on the past due specials in the amount of $47,775.01; however, if those had been paid, the County would have retained that amount with no portion of it paid to the City.
