109.310 Collection of solid waste pick-up fees -- Combination with property tax bill -- Notice -- Waiver if owner of property is not the occupant. (1) A county or urban-county government may collect solid waste pick-up fees which are delinquent three (3) consecutive months or more by combining the delinquent <br>fees with the property tax bill for the property where the solid waste pick-up is <br>made. The fees shall be limited to a return on capital expenditures and to cover <br>operational costs. (2) The pick-up fee when combined with the property tax bill shall be clearly set out as the delinquent amount owed for solid waste pick-up services and shall in no way be <br>represented as an assessment based on the value of the property. (3) Sixty (60) days before a property tax bill which includes a delinquent solid waste pick-up fee is mailed, the county office responsible for solid waste pick-up billing <br>shall give written notice to the owner of the property that the pick-up bill is <br>delinquent and that, if left unpaid, the fee will be combined with the next property <br>tax bill. (4) A county or urban-county government may waive the solid waste pick-up fee for businesses which request a waiver. The request for a waiver shall include a <br>certification that the solid waste generated by the business is disposed of properly <br>and include a description of the disposal method and the property owner's federal <br>employer's identification number. (5) If the owner of the property is not the occupant of the property where the solid waste is picked up, the county or urban-county government shall waive the <br>delinquent solid waste pick-up fee portion of the property tax bill if the owner of the <br>property requests a waiver. In requesting the waiver, the owner shall certify he is not <br>the occupant of the property and that the occupant will be notified that failure of the <br>occupant to pay the solid waste pick-up fee will be considered a breach of the <br>occupant's lease making the occupant subject to eviction. Effective: July 13, 1990 <br>History: Created 1990 Ky. Acts ch. 158, sec. 2, effective July 13, 1990.
