At the last city meeting held on March 14, 2011, the city council voted to approve changing the billing of the WAC/SAC fees for undeveloped parcels from billing it manually by the city, to adding it as an additional line item on the annual Non Ad-Valorem tax bill mailed out and collected by the county. Here is a copy of the document.
Polk City Tax Collector Agreement 2011-3-1
Notice that in the agreement the county will still be billing for "reimbursement by City for necessary administrative costs, including, but not limited to, those costs associated with personnel, forms, supplies, data processing, computer equipment, postage and programming which attend all of the collection and enforcement duties imposed upon the Tax Collector by the uniform methodology, as provided in section 197.3632(2), Florida Statutes." This detail was not discussed at all when this item came up for council approval during the meeting. Actual "savings" by making this billing change may not be as big as initially assumed when all of these costs are totaled up.
I'm so shocked that this transparent Mayor and Vice mayor didn't present the full information to the rest of the council before they voted!!!!!! Like that has never happened before!!!!!! Seems they do this alot, or am I wrong!!!! I'm just a stupid resident and voter.

Sounds like another "out sourcing" to me. All they're doing at Polk City city hall is pass the buck and eat donuts.
ReplyDeletePolk County sould not allow the tax collector to add this to our tax bill. Polk County commissioners do not agree with this WAC AND SAC bill. We should all let our Polk County Commissioners know what Polk City is trying to do. Am sure they do not know that the tax collector is going to add this WAC AND SAC to our yearly tax bill. This is insane.
