Title, Order
Adopting Matured Tax or Utility Lien Policy
This Order will adopt a new Matured Tax or Utility Lien Policy. If approved, the policy sets forth the
conditions and process when the City will take a property for matured liens; and when and how the
City will release its interest.
Specifically, it is the City's policy to administer a tax collection and lien policy that is fair and
consistent for those that have fallen behind on taxes and also for the residents and taxpayers of the
City. The City will work with individual taxpayers who make a good faith effort to meet their
obligations. To ensure that system is fair, however, the City will not release its ownership interest in
a property with matured liens, unless the property owner pays all amounts due to the City. This
applies to monies owed for any and all purposes, whether or not such amounts relate to the
property with the matured lien(s) and brings the property into compliance with life safety and
property maintenance issues deemed critical.
