The admission comes as scrutiny grows over whether the city’s tax collection process was properly prepared, raising questions about how such a gap in data could occur. With no immediate explanation for the delay, the situation highlights potential challenges in the administration’s handling of tax compliance. Property owners and advocates may now demand clarity on how the city plans to address the issue moving forward.
