If I owe to a city or county, what type of debt do I owe?

Cities and counties typically have multiple debt types which may include parking tickets, moving violations, local personal and business taxes, emergency medical services, utilities, fines and fees. This list is an example only as there are typically many types of charges, fines and fees.

The city or county, depending upon the debt type, may withhold or limit services provided to residents. Also, various states may have laws providing guidance for cities in collecting outstanding debts. Our goal is to assist you in understanding what you owe and help in facilitating repayment. Thank you.

If I owe to a state, what type of debt do I owe?

States typically have two debt categories, tax and non-tax. Tax debt is usually personal and business income and other taxes. Non-tax debt owed to a state can be made up of a wide variety of debts owed to state entities, departments as well as municipalities.
