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.
Number %
FY 2020
Total Active Accounts as of April 242,243 100.00%
Active Accounts w/balance due - April 77,379 31.94%
Active Accounts with Delinquent Balances* - -
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.
