The City of Chelsea contracts with a 3rd party (Avenu Insights & Analytics) for the collection of sales & use, seller's use, and consumer's use taxes. For business license, rental, and lodging taxes, we are self-collecting.
For non-tax debts that are delinquent, the City of Chelsea utilizes MIS (Municipal Intercept Service) to assist in collecting those debts. MIS is a program that helps municipalities recover debts from Alabama State Income Tax refunds as allowed by the Alabama Legislature in 2014. Examples of debts MIS collects are as follows:
- Municipal Court Fines and Fees
- Library Fees
- Fire/EMS billings
- Returned Check Fees
