I owe back taxes on my property, i bought my property through a company here in the uk and they said they would sort everything for me, but im left to sort it out, so how do i find out how much i owe and who do ask?
Just checked the taxes (wayne county website) owed it gives me a figure but wont tell me how much is owed from last year?? how do i find this out? also it says under status:forfeit, so it says wayne county could transfer the title, how can i make sure taxes are paid on time as i dont have a U.s bank account?, also do you still have to pay taxes even if property is unocupied?
The first thing I would do Monday morning is actually call the tax office and ask them the dollar $ amount due, and past due from previous years. Don't rely just on the internet for accurate numbers. There might be late fees, etc. added on to the actual tax dollar amount. Then ask them what is the DATE the property will be forfeited or a tax lien will be placed on it. This is very important. When it comes to taxes, don't make any assumptions, just ask the tax office employee for the details. As for method of payment, ask the tax office what they accept for payment. You could always get a money order, and they might accept credit cards. Just ask. Where there's a will, there's a way. To answer your last question, taxes have to always be paid, occupied or unoccupied. Finally, don't delay! Unpaid taxes could result in the county owning your property not you.
Hope this helps you Dave.
You must be on Treasurer´s webpage, click on "Pay Taxes Online", type in Street and House number or Parcel number.
Then you will see back taxes and so on. Here you can pay your taxes online :
Taxes payable with credit cards, so no problem.
If you don´t find your back taxes for your property you must call Treasurer Office, best choice I think.
