REPORT

MAIN

ACTION

ADOPTED

2024 Write-off of Uncollectible Property Taxes and Accounts Receivable

2025.GG24.1

The Controller and Chief Accountant recommends that:   1. City Council deem the unpaid property taxes levied in all years (including interest and penalties that have accrued on those unpaid taxes up to the time of write-off) on the 118 receivables listed in Attachment 1, uncollectible, and direct the Controller and Chief Accountant to remove these amounts from the tax assessment roll by writing them off.

This report considers three components:   1. The total estimated property tax amounts to be written off with the adoption of the recommendation in this report is $824,656, consisting of a municipal portion (which includes added charges) of levied taxes of $208,001, a provincial education portion of $89,458 and an additional $527,197 in interest charges and fees as at July 7, 2025. The provincial education portion of $89,458 to be written off will be recovered from the various schoolboards as these amounts have already been paid to the respective schoolboards.   The total write-off amount of $824,656 represents an extremely small percentage of the total amount of taxes billed over the period 1989 to 2024. In general, the City annually collects 97 percent of all taxes in the year billed, with a long-term collection success rate of over 99.9 percent.   The penalty / interest portion of the total write off amount is considered to be an estimate. Since interest accrues on tax accounts on a monthly basis, the amount of interest / penalty to be written off will continue to increase until the date the actual write-off is approved and processed. The write-off of the recommended amounts will have no impact on the current year's budget, as these amounts have been provided for in the Non-Program Allowance for Doubtful Tax Receivables Account in prior years.   2. Amounts totalling $1,893,544 listed in Attachment 2 (representing 0.25 percent of $762 million total billable revenues for 2024, excluding grants and billable revenues for Parking Tags, Tax and Utilities) were written off by the Controller and Chief Accountant in 2024 in accordance with delegated authority provided in the City's Financial Control By-law, after completion of appropriate collection efforts. These amounts, which are included in the City’s Accounts Receivable sub-ledger have been provided for in the City's Allowance for Doubtful Accounts and expensed in previous years; as such, there was no impact to 2024 operating expenditures.  Details of actions taken, and the recommended write-offs are noted in the Comments section below.    3. Through delegated authority, amounts totalling $3,493,246.42 Provincial Offences Act defaulted fines deemed uncollectible were written off by the Controller and Chief Accountant in 2024 in accordance with delegated authority provided in the City's Financial Control By-law, after completion of appropriate collection efforts.   There is no financial impact to the City's revenues arising from these Provincial Offences Act defaulted fines write-off. Revenues reported in the City's general ledger reflect only the portion of the outstanding Provincial Offences Act fines that are deemed collectible.   The Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer has reviewed this report and agrees with the financial implications as identified in the Financial Impact section.
