The Resolution also allows affected property owners to appear and show cause as to why their delinquency should not appear on the list to be certified, Public hearing notices were published in the Yucaipa News -Mirror on Friday, June 12"' and June 19, 2026.
In addition, on July 9, 2026, individual notices were mailed to each property owner whose account was delinquent and potentially in an assessment position, providing the property owner notice of the public hearing to be held on. July 27, 2026, pursuant to Yucaipa Municipal Code Section 8.28.160(B).
The 2025/2026 delinquent account lien list (attached) contains 129 accounts, 35 of which are Single- Family/Multi-Family Residential. The number of annual delinquencies has declined each year due to the incorporation of tax roll billing as detailed below:

Any property owner appearing on the list who makes appropriate payment arrangements with Yucaipa Disposal prior to July 27, 2026, will have their account removed from the list prior to forwarding the list to the County for inclusion on the 2026-2027 tax roll. It is anticipated that the list will be further reduced before the final list is submitted to the tax collector.
The City, the County, and Yucaipa Disposal will all add administrative charges for this process, in addition to the actual delinquency amount owed to Yucaipa Disposal. Since Yucaipa Disposal is covering all direct expenses involved in the lien process, the $6 per delinquent account charged by the City will be sufficient to cover the administrative costs incurred by the Finance Department to process the information generated by the collection of the delinquent accounts FISCAL IMPACT:
The recommendations do not result in a fiscal impact.
