The Borough of Hatboro has hired Portnoff Law Associates, Ltd in an effort to collect unpaid real estate taxes and trash fee accounts, according to a press release.
Any township property owner who is delinquent on its taxes can expect to receive a letter in the mail shortly indicating the amount due. Recipients of the notice will be granted a 30-day grace period where they can make payment arrangements through the law firm.
Property owners with large balances will be permitted to enter into payment arrangements of up to six months, and a hardship program allowing for longer payment terms will be available to owner occupants experiencing financial hardship, according to the press release.
After the grace period ends, Portnoff Law Associates will collect the unresolved accounts. Delinquent property owners who have failed to make payment arrangements or request hardship accommodations will be charged legal fees and costs associated with the collection of their accounts.
Borough officials urge property owners who have not yet paid their delinquent real estate taxes or trash fees to contact Portnoff Law Associates promptly upon receipt of the notice to avoid additional charges.

Representing more than 200 municipal clients across Pennsylvania, Portnoff utilizes state law that allows for the costs of collection to be imposed upon the delinquent property owner, creating immediate incentive to make payment, and reducing the burden of administrative time and collection costs on the Borough of Hatboro and its customers.
