Hello,
The tax office has received the OPRA request for records pertaining to #s 1-3 on your list.
I have attached the reports for #1 and #3 only.
Please note that there aren't any open taxes from 2021 and previous years. We hold a tax sale every year for the previous year's open balances.
For request #2, we do not include utilities in our taxes.
Water is private and sewer is included.
Thank you,
Kim
