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. Before the City can assess property for such things as grass/weed charges, property maintenance abatement, trash and litter, unpaid water and sewer, etc., the City must pass legislation specifically identifying the property and the amount of the assessment. The final details can be found on Exhibit A, which is attached to this legislation. Assessments are based on collection for City services previously provided; therefore, City Staff are asking that this item be passed as emergency legislation.
