If you did not purchase the property until later in the year, the taxes should have been pro-rated and deducted from the selling price at closing or paid to you in cash by the previous owner. The tax bills are mailed the first week of November. If you do not receive a tax statement by December 1st, you should contact the collector's office and request one. Failure to receive a tax bill does not relieve you from paying the taxes or any interest and penalty due if they become delinquent. All taxes become delinquent after December 31st.
Real estate is listed in the tax book by parcel number.
Please give the parcel number, or the name of the owner as it appears on your deed, or the address of the property in question. It will be mailed to the lending institution where you have your escrow, providing the lending institution requested it. Should you receive the tax bill, you should forward it to the lending institution.
