They argue about whether or not she has to pay her taxes, since she says the Colonel made her an exception after her father died.
The conflict between Emily Grierson and the board of aldermen arises when they attempt to collect taxes from her for property she claims she does not owe taxes on because of a historical agreement with her father. The board sees her refusal as stubborn and sets the stage for a power struggle between Emily and the rest of the town.
One important internal conflict in "A Rose for Emily" is Emily Grierson's struggle between holding onto the past and adapting to change. She remains stuck in the traditions and expectations of the past, refusing to accept the passage of time and the changes happening in her town. This internal conflict ultimately leads to her tragic downfall.
Tradition vs. Change

Well I didn't really read the story but all i know that the protagonist is the main character usually the good guy in the story. And the antagonist is the person who is opposed to, struggle against, or competes with the protagonist. Thank You For Reading.
William Faulkner used plot in 'A Rose for Emily' with a unique setup unlike many writers. He begins with a conflict that happened before the main conflict in the story and many of the main events are all jumbled up in between.
There are many conflicts but the three biggest are Emily vs reality, Emily vs her father, and Emily vs herself. In vs reality, Emily doesn't seem to except that, among other things, people will leave you. Because of this she keeps her fathers body for many days and even kills her "sweet heart". Also, there is Emily vs her father. This is not as noticible in the book but in one way or another his over bearing effect on Emily is what causes her to be who she is. Lastly, there is Emily vs herself. I don't realy understand this conflict, but i know it is one of the bigger ones.
Miss Emily deals with the demand of the conflict by isolating herself from the community and refusing to conform to societal expectations. She becomes reclusive and exhibits controlling behavior as her way of coping with the demands placed on her.
