| Bill | AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 9 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO USE BY NEW CASTLE COUNTY OF THE MONITION METHOD OF SALE FOR THE COLLECTION OF DELINQUENT TAXES FOR THE COLLECTION OF DELINQUENT SEWER SERVICE CHARGES. | This Act will enable New Castle County to collect delinquent sewer service charges under the procedures established by Chapter 87 of Title 9 for the collection of delinquent county taxes. Under the existing method for New Castle County established by Chapter 22, Subchapter II (Monition Method of Sale in New Castle County), of Title 9 for the collection of delinquent sewer service charges, a jury trial must be held if the property owner or an interested party submits an affidavit of defense denying the service charges in whole or in part. In addition, under Section 2211 of Title 9, County Council must first levy the delinquent sewer service charges as an assessment prior to the institution of any legal proceedings. This Act removes the existing sewer monition method of sale in its entirety and will enable New Castle County to collect delinquent sewer service charges in the same manner as taxes are collected under the less burdensome and more efficient monition method of sale established by Chapter 87 of Title 9. | us/states/de | Delaware General Assembly | 150 | HB 139 | Delaware HB 139 (150) |
