Mortgages

Most mortgages include an escrow account for payment of taxes. If a property owner satisfies a mortgage during the year, the property owner should check with the Tax Receiver to determine of the tax was paid by the bank. The bank will not necessarily forward a tax bill to the property owner after the mortgage has been satisfied. The owner will be liable for the penalty and interest even if the bank did not forward a bill.

Delinquent Taxes

For taxes remaining unpaid after July 3rd, add 5% for the first month and 1% for each additional month thereafter.
