Oh my goodness. I sure can relate a bit towards this. I currently pay taxes to Tyler county and I am from Ohio. Someone suggested next time in my lease agreement #1 part of the agreement is to ask for whatever company you lease with to agree they pay the taxes…I cannot say this will work. It ws suggested to me. #2. My tax statement comes directly from the Tyler County Sheriff’s office. THAT is who you should start with. They have clerks there who will help you. I’ve called and also wrote letters and for the most part they have responded. You may have to keep trying at first…they are not always friendly. You should NOT be paying tax on ANYTHING you are not getting royalties is my thought/experience. Antero should ALSO have PEOPLE at at the office you deal with who SHOULD be providing those answers. Try that and see. Good luck. I mainly deal with Jay-Bee and they are really good with customer service.
