Returned Mail/Notice Concerns?:
Stated Reason for Appeal (if given): I bought the property in Jan 2019 so I did not receive the bills. I contacted the previous owner but the owner told me I am responsible for the fees. I still have not received any bills for 2019. I called Advanced a couple times but due to limited English, I wasn’t understanding them.
Staff Comments: The City charges the delinquent balance to the property, not the owner. Because the previous owner left a portion of their bill unpaid, the new property owner is now responsible for the delinquent amount. The property owner can try to contact the title company to try to recover the outstanding amount the previous owner failed to pay, but the current property owner is ultimately responsible for the delinquent charge.
