OSSIPEE — A new Board of Carroll County commissioners on Wednesday voted to waive the late fees that the previous board had imposed on five local towns, including Conway, for being late with their tax revenue.
The towns had been obligated to turn in a portion of their property tax collections as of Dec. 17 to the county, and on Dec. 30, the county’s chief financial officer told the commissioners that five towns were tardy in their payments.
