Accounts write-off panel for 2025 is virtual

The Department of Revenue is holding the 2025 meeting to review account write-offs as a virtual event. This year's debt review panel will convene as a Microsoft Teams meeting, but it's open to the public. Here's everything you need to know:

What: Every year, the Department of Revenue holds a public meeting called the Accounts Review Panel. The City reviews old debts annually and removes them from its financial statements for accounting purposes.

Once a debt has been written off, it is no longer considered a receivable for accounting purposes. Nevertheless, the debt remains in City systems, and efforts to collect it continue. The Panel meets every September.

When: Wednesday, September 24, 2025, starting at 10 a.m.
