The Office of the Tax Collector (OTC) has implemented innovative online publications to notify delinquent taxpayers and to collect delinquent taxes. The OTC developed three lists that are published on the OTCâs website identifying delinquent taxpayers. The three lists are the Annual Tax Advertisement (current tax year delinquencies), Top 100 Delinquent Taxpayer List (top 100 current year delinquencies), and Delinquent Taxpayer Publication (prior year delinquencies). Delinquent taxpayers are mailed notices informing them of the tax delinquency and providing a period in which to pay to avoid their name being published in a local newspaper or on the OTCâs website.
