Returned Mail/Notice Concerns?:
Stated Reason for Appeal (if given): I purchased the home in October 2018. Never received anything from Aspen, and I received the letter from the City last week. My address in the records is wrong and by the time my neighbor gave it to me it too late
Staff Comments: Garbage haulers mailed out the original garbage invoice at the end of September 2018. Haulers sent out three additional notices of non-payment to the property owner. All original bills and notices of non-payment were mailed to the primary tax address as listed in Ramsey County property tax records. The property owner is responsible for contacting their garbage hauler to ensure that the garbage bill is being mailed to the correct address. The property owner is still responsible to pay the delinquent charge, as garbage service was provided from October through December 2018.
