Item/Subject ORDER -Write Off of Personal Property Taxes Deemed Uncollectible
Responsible Department: Finance
Staff has completed a review of all outstanding tax accounts. Approximately 660 personal property tax
accounts have been deemed uncollectible for one a the following reasons, past six year statue of
limitations on collection, lark of mailing address and 10cation of property, or assessment after business
has closed. The review was able to take place due m the Installation of new tax collection software. The
Treasury Division is in the midst of implementing collection procedures to ensure that all outstanding
amounts are paid to the Cay in a dmely manner. The first step in the process was to begin sending past
due statements to all amounts. The initial results of the first mailing have been excellent. Staff
anticipates personally contacting taxpayers to make payment arrangements, as well as stepping up the
effect of our right of offset (a check issued by the City for goods or services an be applied as payment
on past due tax accounts).
It is important to note, that the write off of $18J,g98.84 will not affect the CWs fund balance. Taxes are
not recomed as revenue until they are collected.
