Delinquencies -- Causes and Consequences
Charges for Service Due In 30 Days
Article VI, § 5, of the MMWC By-Laws provides that charges for service become
delinquent 30 days after the date fixed for payment thereon. Becoming deilnquent
can result in a loss of service, loss of voting rights, interest, collection costs, suit,
attorneys’ fees, and forfeiture. Moreover, delinquencies transfer with ownership of a
lot and are not expunged by tax sale or forfeiture. Avoid the trouble -- stay current
on your bills.
