Notices of Public Hearing and availability of the written report were mailed to all affected parcel owners on June 12, 2025, and published twice in the newspaper on June 13, 2025, and June 27, 2025. The notice mailed out to owners provides them with an opportunity to remedy the arrearage on or before July 22, 2025, at 4p.m. to avoid having the delinquent non-paid charges added to the annual tax levied upon the property. Delinquent balances paid before the deadline will be removed from the list submitted to the County Assessor.
