The Habersham County Board of Tax Assessors first took up a refund request from Julie Esslinger for parcel 125-139B, covering tax years 2023-2025, on November 13, 2025. The board voted unanimously to table the matter.
The request, listed at $1,876.60, returned to the board on November 25. Members again voted unanimously to table it, this time until the December meeting, to give staff time to reach out to Esslinger.
At the December 9 meeting, staff told the board they had called Esslinger multiple times and left messages but had not received a return call.
