Provider-specific findings
Delinquency research for this provider
The notes below may document a rule or explain a specific public-information limit. Any active notice and direct provider confirmation remain controlling.
- Late-fee rules
- A 5% late fee applies when payment is not received in the LCDU billing office by the bill’s due date. The County’s annual certification process can transfer delinquent balances to real-estate property taxes with an administrative fee; the current 2026 notice sets an annual certification deadline rather than a universal shutoff schedule.
- Warning and notice protocol
- The public pages identify due-date late fees, annual delinquency certification, and hardship arrangements, but do not specify automated calls, SMS, colored notices, door hangers, or the exact statutory notice sequence before a West Sub-District cutoff.
