Authorize special property tax assessments for unpaid code violation fines

Police & Community SafetyGovernanceCode Enforcement

In Plain English

Some property owners owe the city money for code violations, nuisance cleanups, and foreclosure-related fines but haven't paid their bills. If approved, the city adds these debts to property tax bills as special assessments. Property owners must then pay these costs along with their regular property taxes or risk losing their property.
