BALTIMORE (WBFF) — Baltimore residents are being asked to pay years-old water bills, property taxes and other outstanding charges, some with accumulated interest and penalties, as the city expands its collection efforts.
The city has sent 50,123 notices seeking approximately $504.6 million in outstanding balances, according to figures the Finance Department provided to The Baltimore Sun.
“In a lot of ways, the amounts don’t make any sense,” said City Councilwoman Odette Ramos, who urged residents to contact her office if they believe they have already paid the charges or received a notice in error.
Every year in October, Baltimore’s Bureau of Revenue Collections sends out letters alerting residents of past-due property taxes that could put their homes at risk of tax sale.
