BACKGROUND: General Statute 105 -369 requires that "on the first Monday in February in each year, each County Tax Collector and on the second Monday in February in each year, each Municipal Tax Collector, shall report to the governing body the total amount of unpaid taxes for the current fiscal year that are liens on real property, and the governing body shall therefore order the Tax Collector to advertise such tax liens. For the purpose of this section, district taxes collected by County Tax Collectors shall be regarded as county taxes and district taxes collected by Municipal Tax Collectors shall be regarded.as municipal taxes." A list of the amount of unpaid real property taxes for 1991 outstanding as of January 31, 1992, is attached, along with a comparable listing for 1990 taxes that were outstanding as of January 31, 1991. These figures indicate a higher collection rate so far this year, in that less real property taxes are outstanding even though the tax levy is higher this year. The collection rate through January 1992 for County only (General Fund) current real property taxes is 93.02 %, compared to 91.74% through January 1991. RECOMMENDATION: The Manager recommends the Board of County Commissioners approve the tax lien advertisement date of May 13, 1992.
