Stated Reason for Appeal (if given): Kathy reported that they purchased the listed property on 12/22/18 but did not occupy the property until 04/01/2019. Kathy stated that the previous owner, Chad Paar, called the hauler prior to 12/22 to have the services suspended and moved the cart into the fenced-in backyard. Between 12/22 and 04/01 there was no trash generated and the cart wasn't even at the collection point.
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.
