Overview
This bill changes the rules about how county boards of supervisors can collect unpaid debts. Currently, the board could only assign debts for collection if the tax collector believed seizing property wouldn't be effective. This bill removes that requirement, allowing the board to collect debts more broadly. It also clarifies that county boards can assign debts related to financing and prohibits assigning these debts to collection agencies.
Key provisions
- The board of supervisors can now collect delinquent bills, claims, and accounts 30 days after they are due.
- The board can collect delinquent unsecured taxes 90 days after they are due.
- The board can assign obligations arising from delinquent assessments or taxes to secure financing.
- County boards cannot assign delinquent assessments or taxes to collection agencies.

- County Boards of Supervisors
- Tax Collectors
- Individuals and businesses with unpaid debts to the county
Notable changes
- Removes the requirement that the tax collector must deem property seizure ineffective before the board can collect debts.
- Broadens the scope of debts the board can collect.
