Court considers options after $10,000 remains unpaid on 2015 road assessments
Summary
Brandon told commissioners that of the original $77,000 in assessments for Bishop Branches road improvements approved in 2015, about $67,000 has been collected and roughly $10,000 remains outstanding across five properties; the court directed staff to send independent notices and rely on liens if properties change hands.
Brandon briefed the court on delinquent balances tied to the Bishop Branches road improvement assessments approved in 2015. He said the original assessment across properties was $77,000 and the county had collected about $67,000; the current outstanding balance is approximately $10,000 and five of eight properties remain delinquent.
The court discussed collection options. Brandon confirmed liens are in place, but suggested that continued invoicing would require court authorization because the 10‑year assessment period had been reached. Commissioners suggested sending independent letters and trying to learn more about property owners’ situations; if properties sell, liens would be paid through closing. The court gave direction to send notices and monitor collections, with no immediate enforcement action taken at the meeting.
