NEWTON COUNTY - The Newton County Tax Assessor-Collector is investigating what she calls incorrect tax statements that were mailed to families that live in the Deweyville ISD.
Melissa Burks told KFDM News residents received the incorrect statements Friday.
Burks said there was a computer error and the statements include incorrect figures that are much higher than the correct figures.
Her office will mail out the correct tax statements as soon as possible.
"I am very disturbed," Burks told KFDM News. "Every year we have conversion problems but this is the worst year yet. I am going to work to get this fixed for our residents."
Burks said she'll seek assistance Monday from County Commissioners and the County Judge in solving the problem.
