The City of Meadow Lake is asking people to step up and pay off their back taxes owing, or risk the consequences.
Council approved sending six-month tax enforcement notices for properties noted on the list provided by the city treasurer. The properties listed represent those where the property Tax Enforcement process has already begun, for arrears from 2022.
“It’s basically just the first step for the tax enforcement,” Mayor Merlin Seymour said. “There’s a process that has to be followed in order to do it. Sometimes maybe people just get a little bit behind. It’s something to put in place just to protect everyone.”
Six-month notices are issued after six months or more have passed from the date of registration of a tax lien. By passing the resolution, council authorized the city treasurer to begin the process of requesting title for these properties.
