Property Tax Scam

The Kanawha County Sheriff’s Office is warning the public about a new property tax scam that is circulating the area.

 

The new scam has fake collection letters being sent from Tax Assessment Securities, Kanawha County.  The letters are marked as “Time Sensitive Tax Information Enclosed,” and we urge people not to call the number or respond to the letter.

 

Kanawha County does not work with any Federal Taxing Authorities in the collection of unpaid property taxes.

 

If property owners need to verify their tax amount, they can do so by visiting www.kanawhasheriff.us, or they can call the Tax Division at 304-357-0210.

Attached is a photograph of one of the scam letters.
