Settlement Bureau Established
A Settlement Bureau has been established in the City Attorney’s Office to receive and respond more quickly to offers of settlement from taxpayers for delinquent taxes or a denied claim for refund of overpaid taxes at any time prior to the commencement of litigation. Any offers, which are not accepted by the City, remain confidential and will not be shared outside of the Settlement Bureau. Any pending offer or counteroffer of settlement will be deemed rejected if not completed before the start of litigation.
