89,292 JB properties owe RM214m in assessment tax
Johor Baru City Council (MBJB) Mayor Datuk Mohd Haffiz Ahmad said only RM43.1 million in assessment tax was collected within that period.
"To streamline the collection process, MBJB has formed a task force comprising 200 personnel to engage directly with property owners identified as having arrears.
"They will act as MBJB assessment tax agents, and will be given official authority cards and identification documents," he said after the full council meeting at Menara MBJB here today.
Haffiz said the agents would not collect any money, but would offer advice and guidelines to assist in settling the outstanding tax.
"The tax process begins when MBJB issues a bill to the property owner. This is followed by a notice, and owners have 14 days to settle the arrears.
"If payment is still not made after the notice period and subsequent reminders over a span of up to five years, MBJB will auction the contents of the property, if it is occupied.
"However, if the property is vacant, the premises itself will be auctioned. The proceeds will be used to cover the arrears, and any remaining amount will be returned to the owner."
