Why does the previous owner’s name still appear on the tax bill?
Legally, the assessors must retain the owner of record as of January 1, 2019, for Fiscal Year 2020. If you purchased the property after January 1, 2019, by law we will carry both your name and the legal owner as of January 1, 2019. The calendar year 2019 owners will appear on the Fiscal Year 2021 preliminary tax bills.
