“Setting The Record Straight” Response – Commissioners Will Honor Tax Contract

April 16th, 2021
On behalf of the Board of Commissioners – Commissioner Jerry Notarianni, Commissioner Chris Chermak and myself – we would like to set the record straight once and for all regarding the City of Scranton’s Delinquent Tax Liens. In the Fall of 2020, the City of Scranton approached Lackawanna County to enter into a cooperation agreement to collect delinquent property taxes on behalf of the City of Scranton.  At the time, the City of Scranton was ending its previous contract with a private collection vendor. In the spirit of intergovernmental cooperation, the County agreed to help the City.  Lawyers from both governments negotiated an agreement, which at the City’s request included the filing of liens on its behalf under the Pennsylvania Municipal Claim & Tax Lien Act.  The Act is clearly noted and spelled out in Sections 2.1 & 2.5 in the Agreement.

Two Scams Directed At Our Older Adults

March 11th, 2021
Opportunists and thrill-seekers are at it again. So, Lackawanna County older adults, beware.  Scams pertaining to two very important subjects – vaccine shots and stimulus checks – are running rampant.  Seniors and their families need to be aware of this and the ramifications.   Here are the facts as provided by the County’s Area Agency on Aging:  Vaccine Scam – Any calls stating that if you pay, provide credit card information, or personal information, you can get a vaccine shot is false.  All vaccines are free; covered by insurance. Stimulus Scam – Any calls stating that if you pay, provide credit card information, or personal information, you will get additional stimulus payments.  This is certainly untrue.

Disabled Scranton Veterans Property Tax Bills Clarification

February 17th, 2021
The Lackawanna County Veterans Affairs Office would like to provide disabled Scranton veterans with information in regard to the property tax bills that were recently mailed to all residents.  Disabled veterans who have a property tax exemption will still receive an invoice from the Single Tax Office.  It is not a property tax bill; it represents the City of Scranton’ garbage fee.  It must be paid.

Duplication Of Appointments For COVID – 19 Vaccine Shots

January 31st, 2021
As the COVID-19 pandemic continues its grip on the United States and our community, it is vitally important that everyone protect themselves by getting vaccinated.  Patience is a big part of the process.  Scheduling only one appointment at one location is also tantamount for medical professionals to vaccinate as many individuals as possible in a timely fashion.  The Lackawanna County Commissioners, their Human Services Department and their Area Agency on Aging caution all residents from signing-up on multiple lists at multiple locations.  This is compounding the problem for vaccine providers as they move through their waiting lists, trying to serve as many people as possible.  Multiple sign-ups take away spots from other consumers.
