Police & Community SafetyGovernance

In Plain English

Property owners owe the city $771,000 in unpaid fines for code violations, nuisance cleanups, and foreclosure penalties from 2020-2022. The city delayed collections during COVID but now seeks to add these debts to property tax bills. If approved, owners must pay these fines through their annual property taxes or risk losing their property.
