    Director of Finance and Administration Robert George says it’s unusual, especially when one resident got their tax bill but the neighbour did not.

    Staff at Corner Brook city hall are concerned about the amount of unpaid taxes. At this week’s public meeting Councillor Donna Luther spoke about how tax bills are sent out in January, meaning accounts receivable balances are typically highest in January and February.. The current balance is consistent with prior years, however, the amount of unpaid taxes from previous years remains elevated and continues to be a concern for staff. The City Collector has been actively contacting taxpayers and businesses regarding their outstanding accounts and has continued to make progress on collections throughout February. Councillor Sherry Dean asked about issues around mail delivery through Canada Post. Director of Finance and Administration Robert George says it’s unusual, especially when one resident got their tax bill but the neighbour did not. The city is planning on meeting with Canada Post to discuss issues with mail delivery.
