MONTGOMERY COUNTY, Tenn. – The Montgomery County Trustee’s Office and the City of Clarksville are partnering during the property tax season for the third consecutive year to simplify the process for tax freeze, tax relief recipients, and taxpayers. Each Tuesday and Thursday from 8 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., December 13, 2022, through February 28, 2023, residents can take care of their county and city property taxes at one location. A city representative will work at the County Trustee’s Office at 350 Pageant Lane in Veterans Plaza, and a county representative will work at the City Gas & Water location at 111 Cunningham Lane on those days.

Representatives from each organization can accept vouchers and proof of income and process payments if applicable. This partnership allows taxpayers residing in the city limits and receiving tax relief to take care of their county and city taxes at the same place and time. 

“We are pleased to partner with the City of Clarksville once again for the convenience of our residents. We hope that meeting the taxpayers’ needs in one location will benefit and help those most vulnerable in Montgomery County,” said Montgomery County Trustee Kimberly Wiggins.

“We look forward to once again partnering with the County Trustee to provide a one stop shop for our citizens as well as expanding our partnership to include a County Trustee employee at the North Service Center,” stated City of Clarksville Director of Finance and Revenue Laurie Matta.

MCACC urges careful consideration before getting a pet

Montgomery County, TN — Montgomery County Animal Care and Control requests help from the community again this holiday season. Shelters across the country receive a high volume of dog and cat intakes from January through March from individuals who give or get pets as gifts for Christmas and no longer want the responsibility of caring for them. People often seek new pets online, at pet stores, or from breeders during the holiday season. 

Kaske urges people to take their time and think about the commitment before jumping in and bringing a pet into their home.

Consider the following before adopting or purchasing a pet:

1. Most dogs and cats live between 10-25 years, depending on the breed and species.
2. Dogs and cats can cost between $500 to $1,500 per year to maintain regular vet visits, food, toys, etc. Pets with preexisting conditions can cost even more. 
3. Discuss taking on a pet with the entire family and make the decision together.
4. Ensure those around the pet often are not allergic or afraid of animals.
5. Small children need supervision around pets at all times.
6. We strongly discourage adopting a pet as a Christmas gift.
7. Most importantly, give your newly adopted pet time to acclimate to your family and home. 

“We have many homeless pets in our facility, and the holidays are hard on them too. If you’ve decided to take in a new pet, please consider giving a home to one of our wonderful shelter animals. Their lives have drastically changed over the last several months, and they need a warm and loving forever home. Animals adopted from shelters have proven to make some of the best pets. Adopt, don’t shop,” Kaske encourages.
