C!7°Y OF PALES°I°1NE - EPO12T° ON COLLEC7°ION ~F DEL1NQ11EN7° PftOPEft°CY TAXES ■ ~ A7 ~ ~I October 1, 1999 through September 30, 2000 TAXPAYER NOTIFICATION - Our experience has proven that the right notice to the right person at the right time results in the payment of taxes to our client. For this reason, McCreary, Veselka, Bragg & Allen sends a series of letters to property owners both before and after we have filed a delinquent tax suit against a property owner and the property. Listed below are various types of notices sent by the Firm to property owners notifying them of their tax delinquency and the status of legal action taken by the Firm to collect the taxes. Many delinquent accounts are collected as a result of giving the proper attention to finding the correct address of a property owner. Delinquent accounts with unknown or incorrect addresses are researched by the Firm through the use of Texas Motor Vehicle Registration information, Internet Databases, telephone directories, City Directories, utility records, voter registration records, assumed name files and the records of the Secretary of State. When the Firm obtains new addresses, notices are immediately sent informing the property owner of their tax delinquency and the need for prompt payment of the delinquent taxes. The Firm simultaneously notifies the Tax Office of the new address so that the tax records can be updated. Notices Initial Notices are polite, but pointed, notices designed to remind the delinquent property owner of their tax liability and urging voluntary payment of the taxes due. 2,061 Delinquent Notices are more insistent notices requiring payment of the delinquent taxes and inform the property owner that a tax lien has attached to their property and they are personnally liable for the tax. 2,812 Demand Notices are sent on selected accounts giving notice that if the taxes are not paid, a delinquent tax suit will be filed against the property owner and the property. 1,091 l~ ~7 R 17 ~ ~ McCreary, Veselka, Bragg & Allen, P.C.
