This has nothing to do with any federal issue.

Have you spoken with an attorney to learn if your interpretation of the laws in question is accurate? What if they are correct?

You need personal assistance from someone who can go over the details with you.

is this a violation of federal due process? thank you!

No. It is an issue of who is liable for the tax under state law. If you are not liable for it there should be a process available for you to contest it.

The first thing I would do is write a letter to each of the following: the county executive, my elected county leader, my state senator, and my state representative asking for clarification on the issues I believe to be illegal.

How about giving us some information? Is this related to residential, commercial, or hazardous waste? What is the statute that you think the county is in violation of?

Well, I wouldn't say on its face there's no federal due process requirement. The fifth amendment is pretty clear. However, I can almost bet there is "due process." Due process doesn't mean that there has to be some prior action taken, just that there's a procedure for challenging it.
