Upon <br /> receipt of this report,the governing board must order and set a date <br /> for the lien advertisement. District taxes and municipal taxes <br /> collected by county tax collectors are regarded as county taxes for <br /> the purpose of lien advertisement. Tax liens may be advertised any <br /> time between March 1 and June 30. Early advertisements are more <br /> effective in encouraging payment of taxes than are advertisements <br /> during the three subsequent months. <br /> RECOMMENDATION: Approve the report and set the lien advertisement date for <br /> March 6, 1996. <br />
