The Yellow Springs Village Council on Monday night unanimously approved legislation that will add delinquent utility bills to a homeowner's property taxes.
The resolution will allow the village to collect $7,268.46 in unpaid utility bills from four homeowners whose bills date to 2006.
The village will mail a certified letter to these homeowners, giving them a final opportunity to pay before adding the amount to their tax bills. If they don't pay before delinquent amount is added to their property taxes, the money will be collected by the county auditor, along with a 10 percent assessment fee, in two installments.
