At their reorganization meeting held in January, the Council was
required to review all liens to determine renewal of liens needed and
what action should be taken. Under Township ordinance, all residences
are required to utilize and pay for the garbage service provided by the
Township. This has been the case since 1990 when the Township was
mandated to collect garbage and recyclables. Those not paying have
been liened after proper notice. There are a number of residents who
have continuously neglected to pay their bill, and therefore the rates of
those who do pay will soon be impacted. Council has authorized the
staff and our consultant Jordan Tax Service to begin action on liens,
meaning homes will be filed for sale with the Washington County
Sheriff’s office. The amount of fees owed exceeds the amount liened for
nonpayment of real estate taxes. Council has been reluctant to take this
approach, but other approaches have not been successful and it is not
fair to those who do pay their bills. The properties will be submitted for
Sheriff’s sale in order of the most delinquent. Twelve properties have
been filed at this time.
If you wish to avoid potential involvement, contact
Jordan Tax Service to make arrangements regarding back payment of fees.
