Ridley fights TCB over delinquent tax fees in court
Ridley School District moves to sue the Delaware County Tax Claim Bureau to recover about $1,000 in commissions and costs withheld in January for delinquent real estate tax accounts. The district argues the school code authorizes their collection method while the TCB contends fees are owed. Groff notes district has collected over $200,000 annually through delinquent tax efforts. Additionally, the board approves using a facility for an Educable Mentally Retarded program with multiple districts and appoints Frank Hess to the Delaware County Community College board.
