The old resident moved away but just receive a Vehicle License Renewal Statement (which amounts as a vehicle tax). I have no clue where the person lives or how to get in touch with them. It seems they did not forward their mail with the post office. What do I do with this piece of mail?
Does writing "return to sender" actually work with the USPS? And is that really how it works? My knowledge of this procedure comes from that oldies song "Return to Sender; Address Unknown" -- Other than that I'm without an idea.

Avoid writing on the letter if at all possible. Put a post-it or some other kind of note on it saying the person is no longer a resident. The Letter Carrier will make all the appropriate marks on the letter.

Yes, you can write "Return to Sender: Not at this address" and it works. You can also go to the post office and fill out a form and then all the mail in that person's name will be sent back before it even gets to your house.

Yes, the post office will return the envelope to whoever sent it if you write on "occupant moved, return to sender" and drop it back in the mail.
You may want to go down to your post office, the one who delivers your mail to you (they'll tell you when you go in there) and file a form with them as to WHO is at your address, to catch any old mail coming through yet. Usually the person who sorts for your delivery route will keep the message posted on the box for your address when they do their morning sorting and this stops all wrong person deliveries.

Write "Return to Sender - no forwarding address" clearly on the envelope, cross out the address & put it in a mailbox or leave it for your mail carrier.

Write "NATA" (Not at this address) on the card/envelope and give it back to the postman.
The USPO will return it to the sender

Write on the envelop, "Moved".
It is up to the person who moved to change their address. Do not be concerned with their business.
