What does it mean if my unpaid utility charges were “transferred to taxes”?
Unpaid utility charges which are due and payable may be transferred to taxes if payment arrangements have not been received or the account has not been cleared up in full, at any point after 30 days of the billing date.
Once utilities are transferred to a tax account then payments must be made to the 10-digit folio number found on the Property Tax Notice rather than the 13-digit utility account. If you are paying online your will need to select the payee that includes the words “Brooks Tax” and not the word “Utilities” since you are now making a payment to your arrears tax account.
