If you bought property in the last half of the year, the former owner may receive the property tax notice. The County Assessor requires time to process your recorded deed. Please contact the Treasurer's Office if you have not received a property tax notice by the end of January. Mortgage Company Payments: The Treasurer's office mails property tax notices to the owner of record, as their name and address is listed on the Tax Roll certified by the County Assessor. Your mortgage company DOES NOT receive a copy of the property tax notice. Most mortgage companies perform their own research on the property taxes they are responsible for by your contractual agreement. If you feel your mortgage company needs a copy of your property tax notice, simply send them a photocopy or contact the Treasurer's Office for an additional copy. The fee is $2.00. If you and your mortgage company submit a payment, the Treasurer's office will process the payments in the order in which they are received until the account is paid in full. AFTER the account is paid in full, any additional payments will be returned to the paying party. The Treasurer DOES NOT hold or apply excess monies to your account.
