Background:
As part of year-end housekeeping the Tax Collector presents a list of accounts classified as “uncollectable” to be transferred to the “suspense list”.
This action would remove the taxes from an active status to a non-active status. However, the accounts that are being transferred would remain in the tax roll and would be flagged as a “Suspense Item”.
Except for bankruptcy or deceased, the remaining bills would be sent to a collection agency and would remain on the tax rolls for fifteen years from their due date.
As a comparison last year (FY 23/24) the Suspense File was $68,748.54.
Overpayments:
Per state statute sec.12-129 and Town of Ledyard Ordinance #200-002 over payments under $5.00 shall be transferred to the general fund for the Fiscal Year 2024/2025 in the amount of $120.92.
