Can the County send out BRF Septic Fee bills prior to 10/1/05 (say with the July 2005 property tax bill)?
Yes, the Counties may decide to send out the BRF bills prior to 10/1/05 for administrative convenience and timely fee collection, as long as the bill clearly states that the BRF Septic fee is not due and payable until 10/1/05. If a County chooses to send out the BRF Septic fee bill with the property tax bill in July 2005, the users should be provided an opportunity to pay the fee separately from the first semi-annual property tax bill, and the County should allow a reasonable time for collecting this fee after 10/1/05 before pursuing late payment collection actions.
