An Ordinance Approving Individual Assessments Amounts And Directing The Finance Director Or His/Her Designee To Certify The Amounts To The Applicable County Auditor For Collection, And Declaring An Emergency. (first reading)
Purpose and Background
Montgomery County requires all communities to pass separate legislation for assessments that are to be added to the tax duplicate. Therefore, before the City can assess property for such things as annual sidewalk assessments, grass/weed charges, property maintenance abatement, unpaid water and sewer, etc., the City must pass legislation specifically identifying the property and the amount of the assessment. Assessments are based on collection for City services previously provided; therefore, City Staff are asking that this item be passed as emergency legislation.
Exhibit A, which provides all details of the assessments, is attached. City Staff request waiving of the second reading and approval of this legislation at the City Council Meeting on September 13, 2021 because that is the last opportunity (extended time) to present assessments for the 2021 property tax bills that residents will receive in 2022.
