Our collection rate still remains very stable.” Uncollected taxes range anywhere from just more than $1 to more than $20,000 for a single property or multiple properties. The property owner with the most in uncollected taxes is Edrich Corporation located at 701 S. Main St. The company owes $24,268.61.
