Tax office reports February collections; borough asks residents to bring proof if mistakenly marked delinquent
Summary
The tax collector reported $436,991.56 in real-estate tax collections for February and identified duplicate payments discovered during reconciliation; residents who have proof of payment should bring documentation to borough staff for correction.
Yeadon’s tax collector reported collections for February and alerted residents to duplicate-payment errors found during an internal reconciliation.
The tax collector reported $436,991.56 in real-estate tax collections for February, $73,920 in trash collections and $194,954.08 in sewer-related receipts for the month.
Finance and tax staff said an internal audit discovered some duplicate tax payments that resulted in an inflated delinquent roll after data were turned over to the tax-claim bureau. Staff asked residents who receive delinquent notices but believe they paid to bring proof of payment (cleared check or bank evidence) to one of three officials (the borough manager, tax office staff or the finance director) so the borough can strike the record and request county correction.
Finance staff apologized for the error and said the borough will remedy cases when residents provide proof of payment; they also said they are reviewing banking relationships and will present recommendations to council before any changes are made.
Why it matters: Residents who already paid could be incorrectly listed as delinquent with the tax-claim bureau; prompt submission of proof will enable the borough to correct records.
What’s next: Residents who received delinquent notices are asked to bring proof of payment to the borough manager, the tax office (Mister Nichols) or finance director so the borough can process a strike-off and work with the county to correct records.
