Sec. 78-157[Collection of assessment.]
Plain English: what this chapter covers
This chapter covers city property taxes: billing, due dates, interest, penalties, and what happens if they go unpaid, up to a tax sale. It also covers taxes on insurers, banks and hotel rooms, the monthly E-911 charge, and the 2022 Blighted Property Ordinance, which raises taxes on officially blighted, non-owner-occupied property and gives a tax break once it's fixed.
It is intended by this article that this assessment shall be collected by adding the monthly assessment to the City of Ashburn utility bill together with charges for water, sewer, solid waste, street assessment and gas, if applicable. Failure to pay the entire amount of the City of Ashburn utility bill may result in cessation of one or more city utility services.
