The policies and procedures of the El Dorado County Treasurer/Tax Collector with regard to the imposition of supplemental unsecured property taxes are as follows: A billing for such taxes, based upon purchases of property during the tax year, a. is generated and mailed to the property owner; b. Reminder notices are sent to the property owner approximately three months after the due-date if payment for the billed amount has not been received; and c. A Notice of Unsecured Property Tax Lien is filed with the County Recorder. A copy thereof is sent to the property owner, during the next billing cycle, if payment for the billed amount has not been received.
Related Recommendations (1)
In view of the appropriate immediate corrective action taken by the Treasurer/Tax Collector when the foregoing facts were brought to her attention, no additional recommendations are required.
Unsecured Property Tax Liens expire ten years after they have been recorded. Such liens may be renewed, however, for an additional ten-year period. If such a renewal process is pursued, Certificates of Delinquency are recorded and are sent to the property owner concurrently with the renewals of such liens.
No recommendations for this finding
At the time the complaint under investigation was submitted to the Grand Jury, it was the policy of the Treasurer/Tax Collector to set forth in the Certificates of Delinquency only the amounts of the original assessments. Under that policy, delinquent property owners were not given notice of penalties, interest or other costs or accruals which may have become due and owing on those original assessments. Under that policy, when a delinquent property owner attempted to pay the amount set forth in the Certificate of Delinquency, that payment would be rejected and a subsequent billing, setting forth both the principal amount of the original assessment and subsequently incurred penalties, interest and other costs or accruals, would be sent to that property owner.
