A Bryan hotel overpaid its property taxes by nearly $60,000 dollars.
Brazos County commissioners at its February 20th meeting approved a refund for the owners of the Stella Hotel.
Tax assessor-collector Kristy Roe says their office investigated the overpayment of $59,783.93. That included checking if the overage was supposed to be applied to another property and if there was a valuation change.
After the payment was posted, Roe says her office contacted the property owner about the overpayment and that state law requires the property owner to request the refund.
