Defunct Warren mill won't get tax funds reimbursed, court rules

WARREN

The 11th District Court of Appeals has refused a request by the owners of the former RG/WCI steel mill that several Warren-area government entities reimburse $658,316 to $1.2 million in overpaid property taxes from 2001 to 2003.

The higher amount is how much would have been owed if the parties had to pay interest on the overpaid taxes.

If the ruling holds up through any potential appeals, the decision means Warren City Schools won’t have to pay between $359,639 and $655,560; Trumbull County between $93,218 and $169,920; Howland schools between $82,553 and $150,480; Warren Township between $64,317 and $117,240; and Howland Township between $34,890 and $63,600.

Smaller amounts would have been owed by the Trumbull Career and Technical Center, Warren-Trumbull County Public Library, Warren city, and the Howland Township Park District.
