Northfield authorizes certification of delinquent grass and sewer bills to county for tax collection
Summary
Council approved emergency resolutions directing certification of delinquent grass/cleanup and sewer maintenance accounts to the Summit County Fiscal Officer for placement on the tax duplicate. Attachments list delinquent accounts for 2021 (grass) and 2019 (sewer) with itemized balances.
The Village of Northfield council authorized two emergency resolutions on Aug. 12, 2020, instructing village staff to certify delinquent accounts to the Summit County Fiscal Officer for placement on the tax duplicate and collection with property taxes.
Resolution No. 2020-30 directs certification of delinquent grass, weed cutting, and clean-up bills (Chapter 660) after municipal abatement; Exhibit A attached lists two delinquent grass-cutting accounts for 2021 totaling $2,800. Resolution No. 2020-31 directs certification of delinquent sewer maintenance charges (Chapter 1042) and includes a multi-page Exhibit A listing many properties with 2019 delinquent balances that aggregate to $18,713.04 in the packet.
Both resolutions cite the codified authority to impose liens and to certify delinquencies for collection with property taxes. The sewer-resolution text notes timing is necessary so the charges can be included on property tax bills mailed in December 2020. The packet does not include recorded roll-call vote tallies in the provided text.
