The Johor Bahru City Council deploys 200 specialized officers to address property tax collection issues. Mayor Datuk Mohd Haffiz Ahmad announced the initiative during a full council meeting session. These officers will target 89,292 delinquent properties that owe RM214.1 million in assessment fees. The council has recovered RM43.1 million between January and June this year. Officers receive official power of attorney documentation and identification cards for verification purposes.
Property owners face direct engagement from council representatives who provide payment notices. The council grants a 14-day grace period for settling outstanding amounts after initial contact. Authorities warn residents about fraudulent individuals claiming council representation. Legitimate officers never request immediate cash payments during visits. Their duties focus solely on providing guidance and payment instructions to property holders.
Enforcement measures allow asset seizure and property auctions for non-compliance cases. The council offers installment payment arrangements through its appraisal department for cooperative owners. Legal proceedings remain an option for persistent defaulters.
