Council approves placing delinquent sewer accounts on property tax rolls
Summary
Council adopted a resolution confirming assessments to place delinquent Dixon sewer accounts on property-tax bills; staff said the number of properties dropped from over 100 to 81 after follow-up outreach, and no members of the public objected during the hearing.
City staff explained the annual process to assess delinquent sewer accounts on property tax bills and told the council that, after outreach and follow-up, the number of properties recommended for placement decreased "from over a 100 properties down to 81 properties." Staff noted property owners receive letters and phone outreach prior to assessments and that the council has authority to remove any assessment but not to erase the underlying debt.
The public hearing opened and closed with no public comment. Following discussion, the council adopted a resolution to confirm the assessments and direct the delinquent sewer accounts to be placed on the county property tax roll. Staff clarified that the county, as a Teeter County, advances the funds to the city and pursues collection and keeps any late fees collected after transfer.
