Committee waives $8,518 in delinquent personal‑property taxes tied to dissolved LLC; small refund approved
Summary
A former managing member sought relief after paying a demand notice for an LLC that had dissolved years earlier. The committee waived the remaining $8,517.79 in assessed taxes and directed staff to refund the small payment the speaker made in error.
Jonathan Wark, who said he was the managing member of an LLC that dissolved in December 2016, told the New Haven Tax Abatement Committee that he paid a demand notice of $582.90 only to learn the bill should not have been assessed to him personally.
Wark said the assessed taxes related to personal property tied to an LLC used for a redevelopment project at 122 Court Street; the company was administratively dissolved in late 2016. He asked the committee to clear the remaining liability and to refund the $582.90 payment he had made.
City staff reviewed grand‑list records and confirmed that the LLC’s dissolution meant the company should not have remained on the roll after the early 2017 grand list. Fiscal staff recommended forgiving the remaining assessed balance of $8,517.79 for the account and reviewing the $582.90 payment for refund eligibility.
Committee members agreed and voted to waive the $8,517.79 remaining tax balance. The committee also directed staff to reconcile the $582.90 payment and to return any overpayment to Wark; members identified two small line‑item amounts in the county record and asked staff to reconcile the difference (transcript figures cited $44.80 and $40.63 for two line entries).
The committee’s action relieves the listed tax liability for the dissolved LLC going forward and directs the assessor and tax office to process the specified refund and to update the grand‑list records accordingly.
