Local Government Inquiries
OUR APPROACH
Many local government entities have reduced expenses and increased revenue by appointing Jordan Tax as their revenue collector.
At Jordan Tax Service, we offer a comprehensive revenue collection program directly addressing all of our clients’ needs. We increase current and delinquent revenue collection at a fraction of what it would cost to perform these functions internally. In fact, we can provide all delinquent tax and municipal claim collection services at no cost to our client.
Our staff and our partners include both accounting and legal professionals who assist our clients and their constituents. Whether negotiating an installment payment agreement, helping someone complete an earned income tax return or navigating through complicated personal, family, business or title issues, we, on behalf of our municipal clients, assist taxpayers every day.
OUR SERVICES
Our comprehensive services address all of your collection needs. As your revenue agent, Jordan Tax will focus on your collections, increasing the probability of payment at a significant savings. We actively pursue your collections while we react to third-party Sheriff’s Sales, mortgage foreclosures, bankruptcy proceedings and real estate transactions to ensure that your tax and municipal claims are protected and recovered.
To those municipalities who prefer to collect their current accounts themselves, we offer delinquent collection services. For those who prefer to handle all collections in-house, we can still save the municipality time and money by providing tax bill and notice printing services.
