| Residents of Georgetown will no longer be allowed to transfer the ownership of properties without first having the relevant documents certified by the Deeds Registry.This firm stance has been adopted by the Mayor and City Council of Georgetown (M&CC) in its quest to reduce the incidence of fraudulent actions perpetrated in this regard, according to Public Relations Officer, Royston King.In the past, he said, the municipality has been faced with the challenge of individuals attempting to have properties transferred to their names only to have the original owners insist that they had never authorised such a process.And such unscrupulous action, King said will no longer be tolerated by the municipality, as officers of the council are on high alert.He said that the municipality is advising the general public that anyone who wishes to reflect a change of name of a property must submit a certified copy of the transport/lease or Title of that property. The transport of title, he said, must be certified by no other entity than the Deeds Registry, adding, too, that no other document would be accepted or used by the Council to change the name which appears on the tendered document of ownership.Additionally, the council is urging persons who are in the process of purchasing properties to ensure that the rates on such buildings have been paid in full. According to King there have been a number of citizens who have bought properties on auction and are now saddled with the burden of outstanding property taxes which is urgently required by the municipality.And in order to ensure that ratepayers honour their civic responsibility the municipal officer disclosed that the municipality has intensified its drive to collect outstanding sums owed.And this move is characteristic of the serving of demand notices to defaulting property owners, an exercise that has since been engaged in the areas of Riverview, Roxanne Burnham Gardens and Agricola.The municipality, according to King,Deion Jones Falcons Jersey UK, has also moved to encourage defaulters who are experiencing difficulties to visit the municipality to enter a special payment plan. The municipality has since sought to publish the description of properties in the press, an action which has prompted many property owners to comply with the municipal appeal, King disclosed.Over the years the Mayor and City Council has been encouraging property-owners to honour their civic obligation to the city, by paying their taxes, as property taxes account for about 80 per cent of the total revenue of the entity’s Treasury.According to King when homeowners neglect to pay their rates, they in essence affect the ability of the council to provide services and facilities to the council. And because the council has a meagre revenue base he noted that the situation can become extremely worrying as the entity is tasked with expending substantial sums in drainage, solid waste, law enforcement and other city works. |
