            We will need more information in regards to what name is being billed as we do not have a *********************** being billed in *********** Township for personal taxes. If you are a renter and residing in *********** Township, you will be responsible to pay the school taxes even if you do not own the property.  If you do not live or reside in *********** Township and pay taxes elsewhere, you can contact the school at ************ and they will take you off the tax rolls or simply send in proof you do not actually reside in the property.

            Thanks,

I'm not gone keep explain this to y'all either!

            You can contact the *********** School District to be removed from the tax rolls at ************. Unfortunately, your personal taxes are not paid by escrow as they are not related to property to if you have proof of paying lower ******* and not living in *********** Township, you must provide the proof so we can remove the taxes. We are following the rules of the township and because they picked you up in the township, you must show proof to have taxes removed.

            Thanks,

             Complaint: ********

            I am rejecting this response because: I’ve already showed proof multiple time including last year that we pay school taxes on lower ****** and if y’all paid attention my address has always been in lower ****** I literally get the taxes out of my paycheck and at this point i don’t care what y’all saying I promise u I’m not paying school taxes for *********** cause that not my primary residence and I pay my taxes to lower ****** like I keep saying over and over again! 

            FYI I already report to the township this issue once again and she told me to disregard the bill y’all sent and updated the system! Now y’all can fix it in y’all system or not I’m not paying it either way!  

            Regards,

            The School district sent an email 8/21/23, in regards to a phone call made on 8/21/23 to have the taxes removed. The School district just needed notified and they have sent an email saying they have been contacted and all taxes are to be removed. If a wrong district picks you up on tax rolls, you just need to contact them to have them corrected as we the agency can't do anything to the taxes unless the school notifies us to have them removed.  This is now completed and the district has taken you off the tax rolls since they received your phone call.

            First of all, this company provides no evidence that they are the authorized tax collector. Second, even though I paid for the 2021 school taxes I received a distraint for delinquent taxes notice which I don't understand why it was sent to me. There is no explanation of the math they provide and I cannot tell where the numbers are coming from. They sent no prior notification whatsoever for all this time even though they had my contact information, address, etc. and now I received a delinquent tax notice 5 days after it was issued. Now I'm given 10 days to act on, which I will.

            The tax was paid after the current tax was due so there was charges for being late.  The payment made did not cover all charges and a bill was mailed to the address on file.  The bill was mailed 7/1/2021 and was due 12/31/21 but did not receive payment until February of 2022 making the payment late.  We are hired by the School and all notices reflect it is for **************Township School District.

            It's possible the Township picked the taxpayer up on tax rolls due to a variety of reasons.  However, if do not reside there, we just need them to contact the School District or send proof of Non Residency and taxes will be removed.

            Received a *********** township school district 2022 personal tax notice from this company but I have paid state/local tax on prior to tax day. I try to access their website to see why I owe taxes and the website provided on the notice is non existent. No one answers the phone number provided. I believe this is a scam but unable to get any evidence and do not want to have a delinquent tax affect my credit score.

            Living in *********** Township, every individual has a personal tax to pay out of pocket.  They are mailed every July 1 and you can contact your School District to verify the tax.  The website was down for a day due to technical issues but has been fixed and is up and running.

            Thanks,
