Returned Mail/Notice Concerns?:
Stated Reason for Appeal (if given): Property owner stated that they sent the company a request for a service hold for 01/01/2021 - 06/30/2021. There was no one at the property during this time period. Therefore they do not believe that they should have to pay the assessment.
Staff Comments: Hauler records show that the property owner had never filed a service hold. The property owner did call the hauler after the time period in question and to complain about the charge and request a credit for that time period. Due to the fact that a service request was not submitted in time, staff recommends approving the assessment.
