Question: My bill shows a Prior Years Tax Outstanding amount and/or a Tax Title amount.

Answer: If you received a bill and there is a statement of Prior Years Tax Outstanding or Tax Title, this means there are taxes due on the property from a prior year, or that there is a lien on the property (Tax Title means lien). Contact our office for an exact pay-off amount as interest continues to accrue daily. Mail your payment on a separate check to the Tax Collector’s office indicating the Fiscal Year(s) and account number you are paying, or indicating that it is Tax Title and the account number that you are paying. Typically, when payments are received in our office, the presumption is that the payment is being made on the current Fiscal Year. Therefore, all payments received in the Tax Collector’s office are applied to the current Fiscal Year unless you clearly indicate otherwise. IMPORTANT: DO NOT SEND PRIOR YEAR TAX PAYMENTS OR TAX TITLE PAYMENTS TO THE PO BOX WITH YOUR CURRENT YEAR TAX PAYMENT! If your mortgage company pays your taxes, forward them a copy of the bill to put them on notice of the outstanding taxes or lien.
