The third of five scheduled tax clinics to assist Memphians delinquent in paying their city property taxes will be held from 10 a.m. – 1 p.m., Saturday, July 28, 2012, at the Frayser Community Development Corporation (CDC) at 3684 North Watkins St.

The clinics, jointly sponsored by Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson, LLP, the law firm charged with collecting delinquent city taxes and the City of Memphis Treasurer’s Office, are designed to help property owners better understand the tax process and to work with delinquent taxpayers to develop a plan to pay their delinquent taxes.  In Memphis, municipal property taxes are due June 1 of each year and become delinquent after August 31.
