A number of Adams County property tax statements have been mailed in incorrect envelopes — marked Littleton Sewer and Storm Drainage Utility.
The county’s external print vendor, Seattle-based The Master’s Touch, believes the error will impact less than 1 percent — 500 to 3,000 — of the 180,000 property tax statements the county is mailing, according to an Adams County news release.
The error likely occurred at the vendor facility when envelopes from a previous print job were left in sorting equipment, the county said.
Contents of the envelope — a property tax statement, a return label and other supporting documents — are correct. Account holders can still pay their balance using the statement from the incorrect envelope. A second statement, however, is being sent to ensure delivery.
“We understand the inconvenience and confusion this might create for some residents,” Treasurer Brigitte Grimm said in the release. “Those affected account holders should receive another statement in the correct envelope in the coming days. If these residents believe meeting the deadline will be an issue due to this printing error, I invite them to contact me directly.”
