Tax Assessment Worksheet

Postcard Returned by: Residential Homes LLC

Cost: $355.65

Hauling Service(s) Provided: Unpaid Garbage Bill; January 1 - March 31

Type of Order/Fee: Trash Hauling

Billing Time Period: Quarter 1 (January - March) 2022

Invoice Date(s): January 1 - March 31

Garbage Hauler: Waste Management

Returned Mail/Notice Concerns?:

Stated Reason for Appeal (if given): Property owner stated that they already paid the amount $ 355.65 for garbage to Advanced Disposal. They also believe that this is not the correct amount to pay for their quarterly garbage service and that they may have been stuck with an unpaid bill from the previous property owner.

Staff Comments: Hauler records due show that the property owner was charged for the time period from 4/1/2021 - 3/31/2022 on their Quarter 1 2022 invoice. However the property was vacant until 1/13/2022 when the new property owner called to activate their account. Therefore the property owner should have only owed $63.23 for the time period. Since the property owner provided proof of payment of $145.37 made on 1/19/2022 to the hauler, staff recommends removing the assessment in full.
