Hi
I 'm not sure but maybe it's like collection agency: a company that finds people who owe money to other businesses and forces them to pay it.
Good luck!

The fact that it refers to a city, Kalamazoo in Michigan, suggests that is a municipal department/agency that collects taxes, fines etc.

No, but U.S. Treasury Department.
