Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Does the Town mail my tax bill to my mortgage company?
A. No, tax bills are mailed to the property owner only. It is the property owner's responsibility to forward the bill to their mortgage holders.
Q. I sold my property, why did I get a bill?
A. Per State Law, taxes are assessed to the owner of record as of April 1. If you have sold your property since April 1, it is your responsibility to forward the bill to the current property owner.
