For property owners with escrow accounts, tax information will be made available to mortgage companies; however, property owners are responsible to ensure taxes are paid by the due date. Escrow account holders unsure about who is paying their property tax should contact their mortgage company directly.

For homes that were sold this year, both the former and current owners will receive a 2018 tax bill. Documents signed at closing determine who pays the taxes.
