Delinquent Tax Collection

SCOTT COUNTY

Delinquent Tax Collection

One responsibility of the County Attorney is to assist with the collection of delinquent property taxes.  The duties of the County Attorney’s Office include assisting the Property Valuation Administration in Tax Assessment Appeals and working with the Sheriff and County Clerk on all tax matters.  After property tax bills become delinquent and are transferred from the Sheriff to the County Clerk, they become certificates of delinquency and are submitted to our office for collection.  Our office sends letters to the delinquent taxpayers advising them that the bills are subject to collection and addressing the possible results of non-payment.
