Summary
Residents and property owners with unpaid utility, sidewalk repair, or code violation bills will see those debts added to their county property tax bills, with a county fee on top. Multiple notices go out first, and paying by August 31 keeps you off the list.

Impact analysis
Roughly $33,000 in sidewalk delinquencies alone, plus a large Franklin Crossing utility balance of about $254,000, being recovered through the county.
The city recovers money it's owed, and paying residents avoid subsidizing delinquency.
Residents facing financial hardship could see debts grow on their tax bills, though hardship discounts and payment plans exist.
