OSSIPEE — Several Carroll County towns will be issued a penalty for sending their tax revenue late to the county.
At the Dec. 30 county commissioners’ meeting, county Finance Director Fergus Cullen and county Treasurer Joe Costello said five towns were tardy in their payments. (Towns were obligated to turn in a portion their tax collections Dec. 17.)
