Tampa agency fails to collect foreclosure fees

“What could we accomplish with an additional half a million dollars?” Councilwoman Lisa Montelione asked Slater. “You’re asking for more money when nearly half a million dollars is going uncollected.”

The audit found the city collected more than $411,000 this year in foreclosure registry fees, levied each year to register foreclosed buildings. But auditors found 2,034 cases where no money had been collected. The registry covers vacant foreclosed properties.
