1How do we get started with you? Do you have a contract?

All you have to do is call us, and we can get started immediately. We offer a non-binding contract upon request.

2What part of the processes are you involved in?

We assist you from the time the tax bill goes delinquent until the excess funds are distributed. We are there for you from the beginning to the end.

We have a Phase 1 mailer cost of $30.00 if the bill is less than $50. If the bill is over $50, then the cost is $65.00. Should a property not pay, it will move to our Phase 2 levy process, increasing the fee to $230.

Each cost is per parcel, not per year.
