Tax Assessment Worksheet

Postcard Returned by: DRB #24. LLC/David R. Busch

Cost: $ 117.80

Hauling Service(s) Provided: Garbage Service Large Cart; 3 Late Fees; Oct 1 - Dec 31 2018

Garbage Hauler: Republic Services

Type of Order/Fee: Garbage Hauling

Billing Time Period: 4^th Quarter 2018 (Oct 1 - Dec 31)

Invoice Date(s): Oct - MISSING / Nov - 11/30/2018 / Dec - MISSING

Returned Mail/Notice Concerns?:

Stated Reason for Appeal (if given): Republic Services billed me under my old account that I had before citywide garbage service began. I paid the bill to the old account and did not pay under the new account.

Staff Comments: The City will work with Republic Services to make sure any amount paid on a previous account will be applied as a credit moving forward. Because the amount paid to the previous account was not found during Quarter 4 2018, payment was not received for Quarter 4 2018. The property owner is responsible for paying the Quarter 4 2018 bill. Staff recommends removing late fees.
