I got a summons in the mail today from a city I used to live in 5 years ago (2001) Wwe moved in April 2001 so we never refived a bill for the personal property taxes. I got a letter about a month ago notifying me owing the back taxes. I called the treasury department and they said they don't prorate taxes. We only lived there from January - April 2001. I only owe $169. I want to pay this but cannot until June 16. The court appearance is June 22. My question is should I call the court or treasurers office and tell them I can pay these taxes on June 16.
