Reply to comment by mobert_roses in Anyone else have this problem in their town this year? by WhyImNotDoingWork

The fees are all paid by the escrow company. All escrow payments are all grouped together and sent to the town as one payment. The town claims they never received that payment, which represents the large amount that was not collected and then was. The town collected a bunch of fees from the escrow company. Seemingly no harm to people in the town, but still fishy. Everything was paid eventually and never cost me more. Just seems really weird and convenient for the town this all happened.

Interesting. I’ve admittedly never been asked to handle escrow payments, but I’m gonna ask my coworkers about them tomorrow. To be clear, I don’t work in Wolcott, but in one of the state’s larger municipalities.

I would still encourage you to look at previous years’ reports, even if a city employee told you that. Sometimes city employees should be directing questions to the appropriate coworker rather than trying to answer them themselves, if that makes sense.

Your Clerk’s office should have copies of every recent annual report.
