This enforcement action has been prepared to resolve significant and persistent delinquencies that undermine the culture of faithful tax payment among citizens and to secure sound fiscal resources. In particular, the city plans to focus its collection efforts on habitual and unscrupulous delinquents who have sufficient ability to pay but intentionally evade non-tax revenue payments.

The enforcement measures will primarily focus on the seizure and public auction of real estate. The city will seize real estate owned by delinquent payers to restrict their property rights, and then proceed with public auctions through the Korea Asset Management Corporation. This represents a stronger legal action than previous collection activities and is expected to accelerate the recovery of delinquent amounts.

Prior to these enforcement actions, the city sent out advance notices informing relevant delinquent payers of the impending compulsory collection procedures. Those who receive the notice can promptly contact the Non-Tax Revenue Collection Team in the Collection Division to receive guidance on the necessary payment procedures. The city aims to encourage voluntary payments from delinquent payers while simultaneously minimizing arrears through strong administrative measures.

Through these strong enforcement measures, the city intends to raise awareness among habitual delinquents, ensure fairness with faithful payers, and contribute to establishing a fair culture of non-tax revenue collection. Going forward, the city will continue to develop various collection strategies and make every effort to recover non-tax revenue arrears.

For more information, please contact the Non-Tax Revenue Collection Team in the Collection Division.

A city official stated, "We are focusing our administrative resources on the principle that chronic non-tax revenue arrears must be collected," adding, "Through this enforcement action, we will realize fair taxation and implement fiscal policies that put citizens at the center."
