Who is responsible for paying the taxes on property I purchased, and am I responsible for interest and penalty should taxes become delinquent?
The current owner is responsible for paying all taxes due on property. Partial payments are not accepted. If you did not purchase the property until later in the year, the taxes should have been pro-rated in most transactions and deducted from the selling price at closing or paid to you by the previous owner. Yes. Failure to receive a tax bill does not relieve you from paying the taxes or any interest and penalty due should they become delinquent. All taxes become delinquent if they are not paid by December 31.
