“The nature of the mistake was a programming error by our printing vendor that caused the wrong notices to be sent to our customers, so for example you would have received mine instead of yours,” a spokesperson for the tax collectors office said. “Unfortunately, their quality review process did not catch the error before the mailing went out.”

A full explanation of the problem and corrective measures can be found here.

The printing vendor took responsibility for the error and re-printed and mailed out the corrected notices at no cost to taxpayers, according to a statement.

New notices should begin arriving Thursday and Friday. Residents can also renew their tag online at octaxcol.com.
