Warrant Setup

Navigate: Tax > Delinquent > Warrants > Warrants Setup > Delinquent Search > Set Up Warrants

Description

Set up the warrant parameters and apply the warrant numbers to a group of delinquent personal property bills designated for warrant processing, or apply to individual bills, depending on the search you performed. The warrant number is a unique combination of the tax year (application setting) plus a number that increments automatically.

Steps by Group

1. On the Delinquent Search screen, enter your search criteria and click Search.

   • Make a selection from the Search type drop-down list.
   • Search for group
   • Search for Bill
   • Import file
2. In the Search Results panel, click to select an item in the grid.
3. On the Set Up Warrants screen, verify that the Warrant year is correct. It needs to be reset in Delinquent Application Settings at the beginning of a new year.

4. Verify the Beginning warrant number. The first warrant of the year is 1. The numbers are automatically incremented. You can change the number if needed.

5. The Warrant date defaults to the current effective date; use the date picker if you need to select a different date.

6. The Expiration date defaults to 90 days after the current effective date. Use the date picker if you need to select a different date.

7. Click Apply Numbers. The warrant numbers are assigned, starting with the beginning number and incrementing automatically. The grid is updated with the information.

8. Click Save to save the warrant number assignments as shown.

9. Click List to return to the Search Results on the Delinquent Search screen or click Close to end the task.

Tips

Click View Detail on the Group panel header to see a listing of the individual bills in the group, if you are applying by group. If applying by bill, you will already see the individual bills. Select the checkbox for each bill you do not want numbered and click Remove.

If you need to exclude delinquents under bankruptcy or having an extension, you must remove those from a group before processing.

Any fees associated with warrants are added using Delinquent Fee Application.

The incremental number for warrants is reset to 1 (one) at the beginning of a new tax year.

If you no longer want a warrant to appear on the Warrant Register report, use the include/exclude flags on the screen. If you do not want items that are currently in the delinquent list to appear during warrant setup, you must remove them from the delinquent list you are using.
