SBC FILE NUMBER: 685.2
RESOLUTION NO: 2019-79
AGENDA SECTION:
REGULAR AGENDA
BACKGROUND/SUMMARY:
This presentation highlights the charges and collection activity in the Tax Collector division. Property taxes are assessed in the areas of Secured, Unsecured, and Supplemental values. Once the charges (receivables) remain unpaid as of the close of business on June 30 each year, they become delinquent. The Tax Collector then has the task of collecting on the delinquent accounts.
Most County Tax Collectors discharge older Delinquent Unsecured unpaid taxes on an annual basis. The request for this year is to discharge such unpaid Delinquent Unsecured bills for a net total of $391,470.95. These represent unsecured property bills from 2002-2009; that are now inactive accounts, minimal dollar-wise, and only represent 1-3 years of unpaid taxes within the criteria years.
The unpaid Delinquent Unsecured Taxes represent less than 1% of all the dollars the Tax Collector division is charged with collecting payments for. These taxes do not become part of a tax sale.
