Answer

The few cents showing would be the amount of tax that was not paid and is now delinquent. All tax obligation needs to be satisfied without regard to the amount. There is no current state statute allowing the waiving of taxes (even a small amount). A five dollar processing fee is applied to all Demand Notices to cover the costs associated with the preparation, processing and mailing of the notices.
