A couple of days ago, I received a bill from the city saying that I had not
paid my Special Benefits District surcharge (for the CVCBD), and that I had
until the end of the month to pay up. Since I had already paid my CVCBD bill
for the year, I figured this was a mistake. When I called to ask about it, I
was told that this bill had indeed been sent out in error. Apparently, many
homeowners in the city's Special Benefits Districts, including the CVCBD,
received a similar, erroneous bill. If you received a similar bill from the
city (and your CVCBD surtax is paid up), disregard it. The city will be sending
out retractions explaining the error. A short article about this billing error
appeared in today's Baltimore Sun, the text of which is pasted below.Paul
BurkBaltimore sends out tax bill notices with errorsFebruary 11, 2009Baltimore
City officials acknowledged yesterday sending erroneous tax bill notices to
property owners in the Midtown, Charles Village and Waterfront Management
districts. The city is reviewing the files to determine the extent of the
billing errors and will send follow-up letters to property owners when the
mistakes are corrected. City officials anticipate the errors will be corrected
by March. The errors are limited to liens for special benefit district taxes
levied on properties in those neighborhoods.
