We have previously reported <br />on four different categories of delinquents as follows: <br />• Assessments are delays in collecting the money owed and are assessed to the <br />property taxes in the fall. Please note this number will only be presented in the <br />fourth quarter. <br />• Collections amounts are those we send to an agency to try and collect after we have <br />exhausted all our internal efforts. We receive 70% of amounts collected after the <br />agency receives their split. <br />• Revenue Recapture (RR) is the program through the state where funds are collected <br />from individuals’ tax refunds and remitted to us, with the balance (if any) remitted <br />to the individual. It presents an opportunity to collect funds rather than splitting <br />with a collection agency or having to write them off completely. There is a six-year <br />limit for keeping items on RR and if uncollected at this time, amounts are removed <br />and written off. <br />• Write Offs are amounts removed from the books with no further collection efforts <br />being extended. <br /> <br />DISCUSSION: <br />I have for review recap comparisons with last year, identifying the categories and amounts for <br />each quarter and the running totals. Regarding the second quarter totals: <br />• The amounts listed for assessments culminate in the fourth quarter and include items <br />previously submitted to other collection services, and if not collected, are removed and <br />assessed. The assessment amount for 2023 is $0.00 as there has been no activity yet for <br />this year. <br />• The amounts submitted only to Collection Agencies for 2023 is $520.00. (Please note <br />that amounts submitted to Revenue Recapture were also submitted to Collection <br />Agencies.) <br />77
