The bigger picture

City recovers delinquent utility debt through tax system By collecting unpaid utility charges on the property tax bill, the city streamlines debt recovery and ensures delinquent accounts are settled when property taxes are paid.

What to watch

Property owners pay for tenants' unpaid utility bills If your renter owes utilities but you own the building, you will owe that debt on your property tax bill, even though the tenant used the water or services.
