Authorize liens on properties for unpaid garbage collection fees
In Plain English
Property owners who haven't paid garbage collection fees face liens on their homes and businesses. The city places these liens on county property tax records, meaning unpaid garbage fees get added to annual property tax bills. If approved, property owners must pay these fees when they pay property taxes or sell their property.

Why This Vote Matters
The council unanimously approved placing liens on properties with unpaid garbage collection fees. This means if you haven't paid your garbage bills, those debts will be added to your property tax statement and must be paid when you pay taxes or sell your home. The liens will appear on county property tax records, giving the city a legal way to collect overdue garbage fees. This is a routine administrative tool that cities commonly use to collect unpaid utility bills.
