P.S. — If the neighborhood association had a CPA who was working for them and was getting these tax bills sent to him, it would probably be a good idea for that CPA to make sure his professional liability insurance is in order. His insurance company might end up paying the cost of buying the street back from the new owners.
An earlier article stated that the CPA who had originally handled paying this tax bill had not been used since the 1980’s, so my guess is that he’s “no longer around!”
