County Assessments Removals
Purpose and Background
An assessment for grass/weeds of $334.28 and an assessment for trash/litter of $834.05 for the property at 7084 Claybeck Drive were each authorized by City Council in 2022. These assessments were sent to the Montgomery County Auditor for inclusion on the 2023 property taxes for that property. Those assessments were authorized based on expenses incurred by the City of Huber Heights prior to the sale of the property to a new owner in May, 2023. The title company for the new owner contacted the City and Montgomery County prior to the purchase of the property to ask if there were any assessments on the property. City Staff at both the City and Montgomery County reported at the time contact was made prior to the purchase that no assessments existed on the property at 7084 Claybeck Drive. The assessments were not authorized until after the sale of the property was complete. The assessments appeared on the first half of the 2023 property tax bill for the new owner. The Montgomery County Auditor requires legislation be approved by the City Council to remove the special assessments since legislation was approved by the City Council to certify the assessments. The assessments were approved for this property to recoup expenses incurred by the City due to negligence of the prior owner. Therefore, City Staff recommend that the assessments be removed as the assessments should not be the responsibility of the new owner of the property.
