Introduction & Background: Based on the Chatham County Public Health Department Fee, Eligibility, Billing and Debt Collection Policy, outstanding accounts having no activity in more than twelve (12) months shall constitute a debt write-off.

How does this relate to the Comprehensive Plan: Not applicable.

                     

Budgetary Impact: The budgetary impact of the debt write-off results in uncollectible revenue totaling $37,603.60.
