Why is the former owner's name on my tax bill when I have a deed showing that I own the property?
The Commissioner of the Revenue prepares the land book based on property ownership and assessed values as of January 1. If a property transfers ownership before the 1st half of the bill, every effort is made to update the real estate records so that the tax bill is sent in care of the new owner. All transfers of property ownership prior to the second half billing are updated for those bills.
