I built a new home last year but when I received my tax statement there was no value added for the new home. Should I call the assessors office or just keep quiet?
You should definitely call the assessor’s office. While there may be a good reason why you are not being taxed on the new home, if it was a mistake, regardless of whose mistake it was, when it is eventually discovered, the assessor can go back six years to correct the mistake and collect back taxes for each of those years. It is better to pay the correct amount each year than to pay six years worth of taxes all at one time.
