BACKGROUND: 

The Board annually adopts a resolution allowing delinquent District sewer service charges, past due inspection invoices, and unpaid connection fees to be collected by placing the delinquent fees and charges on the tax roll of Clark County in accordance with NRS  318.201 and 318.202.

In order to collect the delinquencies through the Clark County Treasurer, a written report of delinquencies must be filed with the Secretary of the Board of Trustees and a hearing must be scheduled. Each property owner who is delinquent will receive a notice of the hearing and has the right to protest the collection of these charges on the tax roll. Once delinquent accounts are placed on the tax roll, any subsequent customer inquiries will be referred to District staff.  A written report describing the properties and delinquent amounts was filed with the Board Secretary on May 04, 2021.

FY 2020
                                          
Total Active Accounts as of April
                                                               242,243                                      100.00%
Active Accounts w/balance due - April

Active Accounts with balances set to Prior Year status
                                       35,020                                        14.46%
Active Accounts with Prior Year balances remaining unpaid
                          13,783                                          5.69%
*On June 16, 2020, the Board approved the postponement of collecting the delinquent accounts through the annual Fiscal Year End tax roll process.  The delinquent balances were added to the July 1st bills for Fiscal Year 2021.  Therefore, no delinquent balances were reported for Fiscal Year End 2020.


FY 2021
                                          
Total Active Accounts as of April
                                                                247,419                                     100.00%
Estimated Number of Active Accounts w/balance due
                                        68,365                                       27.63%

At this time, it is too early to determine the exact percentage of accounts that will be sent a delinquency notification because the District usually receives a large volume of customer payments in the months of May and June.  However, staff anticipates sending approximately the same amount of delinquent notifications as prior years because customer payments have been consistent from year-to-year.  In 2019, the last year delinquent notifications were sent out, the District delivered 35,018 delinquent notifications.

This agenda item has been reviewed and approved by the District General Counsel.
