Resident raises tax-lien and water-bill issue; council says two-municipality lien complicates payment
Summary
A resident told the council she is behind on Ogdensburg taxes because part of her property is in another municipality and cannot pay her water bill due to a municipal tax lien; borough officials said the situation involves two municipalities and is under review.
During the public-comment portion of the Jan. 26 meeting, Alejandra Morante described an ongoing tax situation: her home is in Franklin while a small parcel across the street is in Ogdensburg, and she said she is behind on Ogdensburg taxes. Morante said the municipal tax lien is preventing her from paying her water bill.
Municipal counsel and staff discussed the matter with Morante on the record. Mr. Maddaloni said the issue involves a municipal lien and coordination between two municipalities and indicated staff and council are working to determine the next steps. The report does not record a final resolution; the Council and staff described the matter as active and under review.
