MOTION to transfer tax accounts in the amount of $60,136.02 listed in the report dated May 31, 2023, to the "Suspense File".

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".

With the exception of 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 21/22) the Suspense File was $53,647.25.

Overpayments:
Per state statute sec.12-129, over payments over three years old cannot be refunded and over payments under $5.00 may not be refunded. The amount submitted to be transferred to the general Fund for the Fiscal Year 2022/2023 was in the amount of $7,665,82.
