I recently purchased my home and never received a property tax bill.  Am I responsible for the property taxes? 
New property owners are responsible for payment of property taxes whether or not they received a notice.  Any property owner who does not receive a tax statement should contact the Property Tax Clerk at 627-1105.  Failure to receive a tax notice is not sufficient reason for late payment or non-payment; penalties will be applied.
