Perdue reports Parmer County collected 93% of 2023 delinquent taxes; firm outlines next steps
Summary
Perdue attorneys told the Parmer County Commissioners Court that 93% of 2023 delinquent taxes have been collected; the firm said it will pursue the remaining roughly 7% through phone and mail contact, court actions and sheriff's sale if necessary.
Shawn Knox and Blake Newton of Perdue, Brandon, Fielder, Collins and Mott, LLC told the Parmer County Commissioners Court on June 10 that 93% of delinquent taxes for the 2023 tax year have been collected.
"We collected 93% of taxes for the 2023 tax year, so we will be trying to collect the remaining 7%," Knox said, describing the firm's collection process, which begins with phone and mail contact and can escalate to court filings, judgments and sheriff's sales when time limitations and contact attempts have been exhausted.
Knox and Newton outlined the next steps: continued outreach to taxpayers, filing suit when statutory deadlines and contact requirements are met, and scheduling sheriff's sales for properties where judgments do not produce payment. Judge Isabel "Izzy" Carrasco thanked the attorneys for the report.
The presentation did not include a motion or formal vote; the court received the report for its records.
