What does Mecklenburg County do with delinquent tax bills?
When a tax bill becomes delinquent, the Tax Office tries various methods to notify the taxpayer or taxpayers, if there are multiple owners, about the delinquent bill to determine if the bill can be collected without the extreme remedy of foreclosure. The final step in the collection procedure is a pre-foreclosure letter sent to the last known address of an owner and/or taxpayer. If these pre-foreclosure methods still fail, the Tax Office may assign parcels to a private attorney to commence foreclosure proceedings.
