Selling home property tax question

Every time I've sold a home, the closing company has all the things you owe or will owe worked out, and whatever proceeds you receive are after everyone else is paid.

It will all be handled in the closing. Don't stress about that part.

Do you have a mortgage with an impound account?

Then your taxes are in arrears. So you'll give the buyer a pro-rated credit for the portion of the year you owned the property, and then buyer will be responsible for the whole tax bill at end of year.

You may get the bill mailed to you one more time because the assessor/tax collectors office doesn't update their rolls until the following year
