What dose it mean when a Constable is looking for you

I owe income taxes to the IRS. I have arranged monthly payment plain with them for the past year. I found a business card from a Constable. I called him and he explained to me that the letter was from some town taxes. Is he here to arrest me or give me a letter of subpoena?
