There are 1,419 delinquent Solid Waste Services accounts in Citrus Heights, totaling over $700,000 in unpaid fees.
The Citrus Heights City Council will discuss the approval of a resolution to record delinquent solid waste service charges on the property tax roll at the next City Council meeting on June 13.
1,419 Solid Waste Services delinquent accounts as of May 13, have a combined past due balance totaling $707,088.84. Accrued penalties and interest combined total $777,797.72. A complete list of delinquent accounts will be updated on July 11, the city said.
Per Government Code Sections 38790.1, 25831, and the City’s Municipal Code Chapter 74 Section 169, the city is allowed to record delinquent solid waste charges, penalties, and interest on the annual tax roll. A public hearing before the council is required and is proposed for July 10.
If the resolution is approved by the City Council, all delinquent charges will be collected with the general tax levy collected by Sacramento County. The county charges an annual fee of $35.00 plus 62 cents per levy to record delinquent accounts on the tax roll.
The county will collect one half of the amount in December 2024 and one half in April 2025. The county will forward the payments to the city in January 2025 and again in May 2025, according to the city.
