My taxes were supposed to be paid at closing, and then my mortgage company is supposed to pay them after that. Why did I get a tax bill?
While real estate taxes are usually pro-rated between the buyer and seller at a real estate closing, York County issues one tax notice to the owner of record as of January 1 of each calendar year. Taxes become due and payable on September 30 of each year. Taxpayers should contact their closing attorney to find out how they should handle the tax notices for a year in which the property was transferred. York County will send tax notices to mortgage companies upon written request from the mortgage company.
