Assessment of Delinquent Accounts

Delinquent Accounts Receivable (A/R’s) and Water Bills older than 6 months in delinquency are assessed, to real estate parcels serviced, as Special Assessments in summer and winter property tax bills. Delinquent Accounts Receivable and Water bills less than six months old are held in abeyance and are called in the ‘pipeline’ to be assessed to real estate parcels in the next immediate tax billing cycle.

Exceptions to the above rules are when the amount of the delinquent bill is large and it is considered prudent to not wait for 6 months. In those cases the A/R and water bills are added to the Special Assessments even before they exceed the ‘6 month old’ test.

Therefore, until these delinquent accounts show up in Special Assessments, the potential future assessments list for miscellaneous services is posted below. The delinquent water bill information can be obtained by calling (248)546-2374.

The following list is current as at the end of business July 8, 2009.
