Sewer, Refuse, and Utility Delinquency Billing

As of July 1, 2021, the City of Lindsay implemented new billing procedures for residential sewer, residential refuse, and all utility delinquency charges (water, sewer, and refuse). Payments for residential sewer and refuse are no longer payable directly at City Hall; instead, sewer, refuse, and utility delinquency charges are assessed onto property taxes and paid directly through Tulare County property tax bills. 

Prior to assesment onto County property tax rolls, the City of Lindsay will publish a list of property owners/account holders with delinquent charges and provide direct notification via U.S. Postal Mail (Update: Notices were sent out on July 5, 2021).  A final report containing the delinquent charges will then be presented to the City Council at a Public Hearing on date and time TBD.

Please Note: Regular water service fees will remain payable at the Lindsay City Hall Finance Department.
