Executive Summary:
On July 14, 2026, at 10:00 A.M. a Public Hearing will be held to hear protests regarding the placement of Lighting Fees and Delinquent Water and Sewer Fees on the 2026-2027 Tax Rolls for collection.
Per the County ordinance, any delinquent amount owing 60-days or over becomes eligible for tax bill collection with an additional ten percent (10%) penalty.
To avoid having these delinquent charges appear on a tax bill, payment must be received no later than July 15, 2026, for all delinquent charges up to December 31, 2025.
Customers will still be receiving normal bi-monthly billing, however only delinquent charges up to December 31, 2025, will be eligible for this year’s Tax Roll
Attached for your approval are four Resolutions. The resolutions are confirming collection of delinquent charges for services rendered in Kelseyville Waterworks #3, delinquent water fees in County Service Areas, delinquent sewer fees in Lake County Sanitation Districts, and confirming the collection of annual lighting fees in County Service Area #1. The collection of the annual lighting fees is not for delinquent charges, they are to fund the various lighting districts maintained by Special Districts and are paid on the property taxes of the owners who live within the lighting districts boundaries.
Attached is a full list of parcels and dollar amounts who were mailed a delinquent notice letter. The letter was mailed to all sewer and water customers who were delinquent on amounts owing 60 days or over on any charges billed up to December 31, 2025.
Resolutions, once approved by your Board, authorize this action in accordance with Section 55501 of the Water Code, and Sections 25215.4 and 25215.5 of the Government Code. The required Resolutions are attached.
The authorization by your Board for placement of the Delinquent Sewer Fees is accomplished by motion of one of the Board members, in accordance with Section 25214.4 of the Government Code.
