Failure to receive a tax bill does not invalidate the tax or the interest. Banks and mortgage companies pay real estate taxes for property owners that escrow with them. Each year the banks and mortgage companies must request tax bills from the tax collector s office for bill for which they have an escrow account. The tax collector s office does not know which bank to send the tax bill to unless the bank notifies them. Individuals that receive a bill that are to be paid by a bank or Mortgage Company should put their account on the bill and forward it to their bank or mortgage company.
Property owners receive bills with the record owner as of the Grand List date.
By law, this owner s name must remain on the bill until the next assessment date. We add new owners names as they become available to us. If you pay off your mortgage, please notify our office so we may update our records. Second installment bills are mailed for the January 1 taxes after November 24.
