When are tax bills due?
Tax payments for fiscal year 2007 are due quarterly. The due dates
for the payments are August 1st, November 1st, February 1st and
May 1st. Interest accrues at 14% for all overdue payments. Tax bills
will be mailed on June 29, 2006.
I sold the property. Why do I still get tax bills in my name?
Real Estate and Personal Property taxes are assessed to the owner
of record as of January 1st. If the property is sold, the tax bills
cannot be changed until the following fiscal year. The original
owner should forward a copy of the tax bill to the new owner.
My mortgage company pays my tax bill. Can you bill them directly?
The law specifies that bills be sent to the owner of record at the
Registry of Deeds. Often mortgages are sold or homeowners refinance
the property, which can result in an overdue bill. Homeowners should
forward a copy of the bill to the Escrow department at their bank/mortgage
company.
