Every city and county feels the effects of tax delinquency. Without tax revenues, important city and county operations like police and fire protection would be drastically reduced. The personnel requirements for tax collection can also be a massive drain on governmental resources. That is why we have pioneered a comprehensive approach to tax collection that starts with the initial delinquency and can proceed all the way through tax sales and the administration of excess funds. With over 25 years of experience in tax collection and litigation, we have the knowledge and experience to help you improve your revenues.
