Tax payment delays draw scrutiny

by | Apr 2, 2026 | Area news, Latest

An agenda item intended for routine approval Monday afternoon became the subject of a lengthy discussion among Collin County commissioners and Tax Assessor-Collector Scott Grigg.

The discussion focused on how Grigg’s office processes checks delivered by residents paying taxes and assorted fees.

Precinct 4 Commissioner Duncan Webb pulled a consent agenda item for discussion, citing an apparent conflict between Grigg’s office and county-approved policies followed by Auditor Robert Cone.

Webb expressed concern that “an elected county official” was defying a commissioners court-approved policy governing how the auditor operates his office. At issue was the processing of tax payments to the assessor-collector’s office.
