Stated Reason for Appeal (if given): The assessment was for the previous property owner's account.
Staff Comments: The current property owner purchased the property on 4/1/2021 and on 5/9/2021 called the hauler to set up a new account. The customer service representative did this but did not cancel the account for the previous property owner. Therefore both accounts were billed for Quarter 3 and Quarter 4 2021. Since the current property owner paid their Q3 2021 invoice in full on 8/16/2021, the assessed amount represents the amount invoiced to the previous property owner's account, plus three additional late fees. Therefore staff recommends full removal of the assessment.
